157. Count Your Blessings

Every day, spend time taking stock of your blessings. Appreciate the assets you already possess. When you try, you will find it impossible to put a monetary value on what it is worth for example to live in a wealthy peaceful and stable country.

What would your job be worth if you were unemployed ?
What is it worth to you not to be in jail or heavy debt ?
What are your loved ones worth ?
How much would you take for your sight, your arms, your legs ?

With so much going for you, can you see how absurd it is to be depressed or sad ?

Your better way of life begins now.

Count your blessings. Once you realise how valuable you are, and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return. Move forward towards the life that God (or the Supreme Being, if you prefer) intended for you with grace, strength and confidence.

If the news arrived that you were missing at sea, every lifeboat, ship and aircraft available would be sent to search for you. Millions would be paid out in overtime. Thousands of litres of diesel and aviation fuel would be burned and millions of watts of electricity expended just to bring about your rescue. Think of that the next time you feel low, useless or insignificant.
