We Are All Rich and Blessed.

In today's time, we always see others who have more. We always desire more. Some may even be unhappy with what they have or really what they don't have. With television and social media, it is relatively easy to compare our lives with others. By doing this, some may feel inadequate and that they do not measure up to unrealistic expectations. After all, everyone is different. Everyone's life is different. 

 

There may be people that you see that drive luxurious cars and live in lavish homes. Maybe they even have several homes. Or maybe they take vacations monthly. Or maybe they have a closet full of designer clothes, but still complain that they have nothing to wear.

 

 

So, there really is no need to compare.

While writing the above, it made me think of an email that I had received (which you can see in a top ten list).

 

 

Everyone is rich. 

 

 

YOU are rich.

 

1. You didn’t go to sleep hungry last night. 
2. You didn’t go to sleep outside.
3. You had a choice of what clothes to wear this morning.
4. You hardly broke a sweat today. (btw, it isn't talking about exercise)
5. You didn’t spend a minute in fear.
6. You have access to clean drinking water.
7. You have access to medical care.
8. You have access to the Internet.
9. You can read.
10. You have the right to vote.

Some things are taken for granted. It is so easy to overlook the small things, when so much energy is focused on everything else. It is all about perception. We all truly have things to be thankful for, only if we take a look around. 

We all truly are blessed.
