How good do we really have it ?


Sometimes I wonder if I fully realize how good I have it? do I take all the good and valuable things for granted, focusing only on the troubles and disappointments?
Sure, I have problems, We all do, and of course there are challenges and difficulties. The best way to move forward through these difficulties is by staying connected to the real, enduring goodness in my life.
If I stop for a moment and think of five things in my life for which I can be truly thankful, and then consider what I could do to build and nurture those things, to make them more influential in my thoughts and my actions.
It's easy for the pressing problems of the moment to overwhelm my thinking. So it's up to me to provide a powerful, positive alternative.
When I have something to be thankful for, I have something real and valuable to go on. I have a solid foundation from which to build.
And no matter where I may be or what may have happened, I do indeed have many things for which I can be truly thankful. The more completely I stay connected to them, the more surely life will move in the direction I desire.

Let go



What's done is done. The time and energy you spend complaining about it will get you nothing but a lot of frustration and negativity.
What's happened has happened. Instead of looking back, fretting and arguing about why or how or who is at fault, look forward and consider all the positive possibilities that are available to you.
If you've been wronged, don't seek revenge. Seek success, seek achievement, seek fulfillment, seek to take what has happened and turn it into a positive force in your life.
Spend your time and energy not in looking back, but in looking ahead. For that is where you can make a difference.
Learn from what has happened, allow it to inspire and motivate you in a positive way, and then choose to move forward. See the value in the way things are at this moment, and see how you can make full use of that value.
let go of your attachment to what has already happened. And make room in your life to create the very best that can be. ( And please dont confuse revenge with justice )
