Positive Messages / Blessings Abundance

There isn't a day that goes by that we should forget to take count of all the blessings in our life.

This is no more apparent than a brief reflection of those who live in depressed societies. Almost every day, there are newscasts that highlight the many ordeals suffered by many throughout the world from starvation to war.

Just Watch The News
Those of us who are fortunate enough to live in a democratic society often take for granted those freedoms only seen as a dream by thousands of less fortunate.

Take It For Granted?
There are numerous days, however, when you will read, see or hear someone complain as though they lived in the most forlorn and deprived society. Maybe this is because we do take for granted what we have, and expect more and more to satisfy our own self-serving desires.

There is, no doubt, some issue over which you have no control. But, rather than moan and complain, look beyond the issue and strive for the solution. In each problem lies an opportunity to make better, to resolve, or to commence positive change.

An Example
Take my own health, for example. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes. Sure, at first I was angry, but that only meant I was unsure of my next steps. What would this disease do to me over time? How would I have to live to cope, to control, to move beyond?

To dwell on my malady, however, would serve no useful purpose. If you adopt the "poor me" attitude you only deepen the pigment of despair.

What I found, though, was a new door of opportunity to better manage my diabetes through a better diet, insulin therapy, and a zest for the next day. It would have been easy for me to make dependent my life on something that could not only be managed to live a vibrant life but something that hardly compares to what others endure day by day, e.g. cancer treatment.

Think About
Before you think about misfortunes, think about all the blessings that surround you. Many of our blessings we don't even recognize, we often take them for granted. Open your eyes today and realize the many blessings that you do have!

Each day is a new day, a day to start with positive thoughts on the blessings you have.

Let Gratitude Rule
by Byron Pulsifer

In a world where blessings often fade from sight,
We must remember those who face a harder fight.
Starvation and war, their daily plight,
Yet we enjoy freedoms, often taken light.

Complaints may arise, even in our ease,
But many dream of the comforts we seize.
Rather than grumble, seek a better way,
For in each problem, opportunity may display.

Our lives are rich with what we often overlook,
So take a moment to reflect and look.
Focus on the good and strive to change,
Embrace the chance to make life rearrange.

Count each blessing, cherish what you’ve got,
Find joy in the now, and worry not.
For in every struggle, find the chance to mend,
Turn troubles to triumphs, and let gratitude ascend.

Count each blessing, cherish what you’ve got, Find joy in the now, and worry not.

Pulsifer notes that those of us living in democratic societies often take our freedoms and comforts for granted, despite these being unattainable dreams for many others.
