Have you ever seen a person that just seemed to hate their life? They always seem to be angry with the world, disappointed, and full of complaints. Most days of the week they hate to get out of bed, their life is characterized more by frowns than smiles, and their speech focuses on what they don’t have, could’ve had, or lost. Are you that person?
Sometimes our misfortune can blind us to our fortune. Sometimes in life we become overwhelmed by our liabilities and forget about our assets. Today is a good day to check yourself and take inventory of your assets. Is there anyone in your life, living or deceased, for whom you are grateful for their influence in your life? From whom in your life did you receive pain or hurt, but now realize that it has come to be a blessing rather than a curse? Every blessing can be a curse and every curse can be a blessing depending on your attitude towards it, and your response to it.
An attitude of gratitude will see every misfortune through a telescopic lens, seeing the blessing in, and beyond the struggle. Trouble doesn’t last forever, and out of all trouble come the possibility of new knowledge and progress. Yes, a new attitude can turn your world upside down and move you from trouble to triumph. Your success is dependent upon your discipline. Do you view your life through hateful or grateful eyes?
