How Fortunate I am...

I will never get bored to tell myself and my kin to always be grateful for what we have. Sometimes we're blinded by our obsession and depression that we forget of all the valuable things we have. Maybe that's part of being human, we never satisfied with what we have, we always envy each other, and craving for more.

Well guess what, sometimes we need to stop that want-something-more temptations and look around. Sometimes we didn't realise how far we've walked because we keep complaining and regretting stuff that we shouldn't be bothered, and the next thing you know, you missed all of the views from the path you've passed.

We should try to reflect our 'journey', and realise what we have achieved so far. If we keep putting ourselves in depression, sorrow and envious behaviour, we might never get the chance to enjoy the moment and be grateful for what we have. Thus, we should enjoy every moment of our lives, make every second counts, and the important thing is, to be grateful for what we have and what we've achieved. Just like the old times saying, "The happiest people are not those who have valuable possessions, but those who values what they posses."

Remember this, while we're envying someone else's life, other people maybe wishing they had our lives instead of their own.

Maybe starting from tomorrow, when you wake up in the morning, you can look at to mirror and say "How fortunate I am for...."

For me, at the moment I would like to say, "How fortunate I am to be able to write this blog, to have self consciousness about being grateful, and to be able to share it with others."

cheers

I agree with you David, it is a human nature not to appreciate what we have and always crave for something what we do not have...Sadly, we only start appreciating things, people and their value to our life once they are gone...Ninka
