“Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”

I found this quote while I was surfing the web today.

Sometimes we get so caught up with life and all the stresses, problems, issues, and shit that we don’t appreciate what we have… we go about our daily lives neglecting the things we enjoy and the people we love. We forget about the little things in life.. like how great the sun feels on your skin… or how lucky we are to have the things we have… the health… the education… a job… family.. friends… a house…  We have a lot of amazing things that many are unfortunate to have… yet, we dwell on the things we don’t have.. or the bad things we don’t want.

I am guilty of this. I have problems… we all do. I have issues… we all do. And I dwell on them… I let it affect me. And sure, we all have those days when we just want to be blue… which, in my book, is okay. But it doesn’t mean I should not appreciate what I do have.

I should be content with what I have…. rejoice in the way things are. In doing so, I can better appreciate what I have… and continue on my journey to achieve the things I want… eventually I will realize that there is nothing lacking…and the world will belong to me… My World!
