A year or two ago I found, somewhere on the Internet, a beautiful piece of self-talk by an anonymous author, entitled “Lessons Learned in Life”. I saved it as the screen-saver on my PC and I read it daily.
That habit has brought a newl level of contentment to my life.
Here’s what it says:
“I’ve seen better days but I’ve also seen worse. I don’t have everything I want but I do have all I need. I woke up with some aches and pains but I woke up. My life may not be perfect but I am blessed.”
What better way to focus on the positive than being grateful for what you already have rather than be driven by dissatisfaction?
