Comparisons blind us to all that we already have. We become so focused on what someone else has and how we don’t measure up that we neglect to acknowledge all of the blessings around us. It’s a matter of choosing to see the glass half full rather than half empty—and acknowledging your gratitude for the water in the glass. When you wake up in the morning, before you get out of bed, make a mental list of everything good in your life and focus on each blessing for a minute or two. Do this before you go to sleep as well.
