PERSPECTIVE

Our blessings may very well be someone else’s ordinary.  An apple to a starving man is a matter of life or death.  An apple to a satiated man is something he can either take or leave.

It’s more helpful to us if we come from the perspective of acknowledging our blessings, always.  Because while we may be satiated now, there will come a time when we are starving.  It may be a figurative starving or literal, it doesn’t matter. The point is that a perspective of gratitude will invariably provide you with plenty more to be grateful for.  If on the other hand all you see is lack, don’t be surprised if nothing shows up.

Here’s the thing, it’s not that nothing is showing up, the irony is that to someone who comes from a perspective of lack, they simply won’t see it.  

Be grateful for the ordinary because in reality it is a blessing waiting to be acknowledged.  And like invariably attracts like.
