~~~A Little Reminder~~~


Sometimes we forget
to take the time
to recognize the richness
that defines our lives.
We get caught up
in thinking about “what we don’t have”
rather than all the abundance we do enjoy.
Where does this leave us?
in perpetual conflict with our desire for more
whether we crave time, convenience, wealth, or enlightenment.
Yet understanding and truly appreciating
our blessings
can be as simple as walking a mile in another’s shoes
In America
we live insular lives
we do not comprehend the full scope
of our prosperity that is relative to our sisters and brothers in humanity.
If U do…
slowdown, observe
take stock in your blessings
everything U take for granted
each and everyday
U may find compassion & a bit of guilt flooding your heart
Open your heart further…
let the awareness help U attain deeper gratitude & appreciation
of your blessings!
I had a conversation today
that reminded me to take stock
that yes...
money is nice
however
it is not THE KEY
to the happiness......
I wish for this person =)
