~We often take what we have for granted, and it can be affirming to practice thankfulness.
If you are reading this, it means you can read; there are many
people in the world who cannot. Consider the number of living family
members and the number of friends you have. Think about the cats and
dogs in your life and realize that not everyone can afford to feed and
care for pets. Do you have plants on your windowsill, or garden? Those
are living beings in your life as well. Look in your closet, and add
up how many pieces of clothing you have - ignore whether they fit you,
or are in style. Any clothing will cover you and keep you warm. go to
the supermarket and count the number of fruits and vegetables available
to eat, and reflect on the number of places they come from so you can
have a healthy and varied diet.~
One thing that I am seeing in my life that makes such a huge difference is the paradigm shift of my thoughts along with the intention of those thoughts. That what I give to the world comes back full circle. I had a resentment and anger created towards one of my teachers at school. She really rubbed me the wrong way. So I spent sometime in prayer, meditation, and asked people I trust in my life on what to do. The end result is to come to a place of empathy and compassion when it comes to these things. If I send out anger then I shall get anger in return. I have to say it's draining and takes time. But since I've started doing this I'm more content with my life. Blessed be everyone!
