Lucky

this easter has been one of those moments... it kinda changed my perspective of life.
I became aware of so many things that I usually took for granted.
I also realized that our people in this society normally tend to focus on what they don't have, therefore they're usually complaining about everything. I see that as the stone holding our willingness to succeed. Why does this happen? probably because we tend to focuss on what we don't have or what we are missing.

Today I was told: "Lets start our lives from now on, being thankful and cherish all the blessings we have around us.
And when we are feeling this, we should pass it to somebody else. Joy happiness and hope are feelings that should be transmited."
So then I looked around me and saw many things that surround me like nature and the beautiful gifts that we were given in this earth, but it wasn't until I visited some friends I hadn't seen in a while, that I realized how blessed I am.
The last time I saw them we were talking about the things that we don't have in our life, some said a partner, some said time, some said money... and tonight as I visited them, they reminded me that I said then that nothing was missing in my life. I told them I had everything. Well I meant it that time, but time passed and now I had forgotten all the blessing I have.

JUST LOOK AROUND YOU!
I have my health, I have my family, I have education, I have food and shelter. I have a job and a source of income....I have nice clothes and things that are considered luxury items. I have the priviledge of having internet access and 3 languages in my power to be exploited and so many other things that for me are normal, but so many people would do anything to have those things.
Finally I have love, it's all around me, starting with my friends, family and everyone else.. that make me realize how lucky I am. I am a unique and special being who can do or reach anything she sets her mind to. I have everything I need.
