Count your blessings

Count your blessings

Most of the times we think of the negative things that happen to us. We just curse and swear at the slightest unlucky things that happen to us. But, we forget that some people is breathing their last breath while we are breathing.

If we quiet down and start to count our blessings then we know how lucky we are and we never realize it. We can start walk , eat well and sleep well and we are free as a bird and can do whatever we like as compared to many which do not have all these blessings and still live happily.

I read a book where the author who start his day by been thankful for his peaceful sleep, thankful for his ability to live another day and thankful for every little things that his body can do after he wake up from his sleep. His appreciation and thankful attitude make him happy that he is still alive and well. This attitude is very important for us to live another second.

The majority of the people struggle through life without realizing the appreciation to be blessed and taking everything  for granted. Their  next breath will be coming, they will fall asleep and they will eat wells. People live through their life illusively and in their "take for granted" life. Their unappreciative attitude makes them live through life plainly and painfully. They have no purpose in life. Nothing is special and there is no blessing in life.

When we go into ripe old age, then we will no such time of taking things for granted. We may not eat  well,sleep well or walk well and the whole body is feeling that it a falling apart.

We better realized the blessings and live each day as it's last will make life more meaningful and you will realize that each step, each breath and each bite is a blessing to us.

Namaste
