Even in uncertain times, it’s always important to keep things in perspective.
"True wealth is the ability to fully experience life."
~ Henry David Thoreau
1.You are
alive.
2.You are
able to see the sunrise and the sunset.
3.You are
able to hear birds sing and waves crash.
4.You can
walk outside and feel the breeze through your hair and the sun’s warmth on your
skin.
5.You have
tasted the sweetness of chocolate cake.

go to sleep hungry last night.

this morning with a roof over your head.
8.You had a
choice of what clothes to wear.
9 .You
haven’t feared for your life today.
10.You have
overcome some considerable obstacles, and you have learned and survived.
11.You often
worry about what you’re going to do with your life – your career, your family,
the next step, etc. – which means you have ambition, passion, drive, and the freedom
to make your own decisions.
12.You live
in a country that protects your basic human rights and civil liberties.
13.You are
reasonably strong and healthy – if you got sick today, you could recover.
14.You have
a friend or relative who misses you and looks forward to your next visit.
15.You have
someone with whom to reminisce about ‘the good old days.’
16.You have

The truth
is, you’re doing better than a lot of people in this world. So remember to be grateful for all the things
you do have.
