Appreciate what you have

Every Sunday, I take a quote from my little black book to share with you and add my two cents.

“If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey

I bet there are many things you want for your life. You may want the perfect relationship, a new career, a new home or apartment or even something as simple as a cool new gadget. Sometimes, I feel that we are so focused on what we want that we don’t look or appreciate what we already have. Yes, that new thingy would be stellar to have but what do you have in your life already that is good?

You have a great deal to be thankful for. And, if you are thinking that you don’t, take some time right now and think of what you have. Look around you and see the things that you are probably taking for granted. It could be material things or people.

Why should you do this? Just to realize that you do have some good things going for you. So, when you are feeling down you can think of all the good things you have at your fingertips. It may not solve your problems but will definitely help you stop feeling like you have nothing.
