We have all seen disappointments in our lives, that’s no question. Anyone who says they haven’t would clearly be lying, but ultimately it’s how we deal with those disappointments that determine what kind of life we’re going to live. As a sit here today facing a disappointment, I have decided to change my outlook. At other points in my life this very same situation would have gotten a different reaction from me. However as I look at my life right now all I can think is I have so so many more blessings in this life than I do disappointments and I can’t help but feel like maybe this all happened to show me there is something better out there for me. So today I am going to choose to count each one of those blessings and focus on all the things that went right, rather than the one that went wrong.
- I have an amazing, crazy, large, different but oh so loving family
- I have an amazing boyfriend, who amazes me every day with how kind he is
- I have great friends, near and far to make me smile and talk me through any given situation
- All of these make up the best support system a person could ask for
- I have a good job, in times of economic struggles
- I was blessed with a great education
- I am in good health (can never take that for granted)
- I have an awesome new apartment that I am in love with, in a new area I enjoy exploring
- So many more that I can’t put into words
I know that I have a lot of things many other people would love to have and I need to remember that each and every day. I am so blessed by this life I am living and am so thankful. I hope everyone will take a quick moment to count your blessings; it is really the best way to change your mood and your outlook.
Have a Blessed Thursday Everyone
