What Do You Choose To See?

“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” — Camille Pissarro

Today you woke up.

You have clean water to drink.

You have access to electricity.

You have access to the internet.

Life is good.

Sure, there are things that could be better. We could always have more. Who wouldn’t want better things?

A better car. A better home. A bigger bank account. Heck, maybe you even crave a better spouse.

Life could be better.

Life could also be worse.

Take time to appreciate the moment you are in right now. Are you someplace comfortable, reading and spending your time doing what you want? If yes, then at this moment, right now, you are blessed.

Wait. I have problems. Work. Family. Relationships. Finances. I have stressors.

Again. Where are you at this moment in time? What do you choose to focus on?

We see what we choose to see. I choose gratitude, appreciation, and blessings. What do you choose?
