Count your Blessings

I don’t think we count our blessings enough. We crib and complain and when people around us stop listening, we crib about that as well. No matter what you do, the grass will ALWAYS be greener on the other side.

He earns more than me – when am I going to be as rich
She is at home all the time – I wish I had that much free time
Why does he keep talking to her – I wish I wasn’t 2nd priority
Why am I fat – I wish I was a lot less curvy
Why is my dog so yappy – I wish I had a lab
I don’t have nice clothes – he looks so much better than I do.

We need to remember that there’s ALWAYS going to be a flip side

I work so hard to earn this much – I wish I was following my passion.
I’m at home all day – I wish I had stuck to a career and been busier.
Even though he talks to her all day – he thinks me the last thing at night and the first thing in the morning.
I’m so thin – I have a size 0 boob!
My lab is so huge – I want a dog I can put in my purse
All I have are clothes – I need some shoes to go with it…and a PERSONALITY!!

I mean seriously! I’m gonna prove god wrong…well, I really am going to try. This wasted emotion of jealousy makes us lose out on what we have and make the MOST of what we have. I don’t mean give up on ambition – I mean give up on envy…

With all the classes we attend, maybe a class or two on counting our blessings is in the need. – Lesson No 2.
