Enjoy Life's Blessings

"Enjoy Life's Blessings" is a little sign that sits outside my kitchen window that works as a reminder for me to count my blessings in my life. Something so simple found cheaply at a 100 yen store (me chuckles), yet its impact so profound. What a fantastic simple quote!

We focus on the negatives in life quicker than remembering the visible and especially the "hidden" blessings in our life that we had overlooked because they were so minute that could be dismissed easily unconsciously.

We just love to point fingers at others and at ourselves, too. It's easy to do it too much one sided. We have to remember that in every outcome, it takes two to create that bang. We must look for the good in the bad, and the wonders in the good to find the visible and hidden blessings within. You may not see it now, but remember that in time you will be able to see it when you have found the balance and light within you.

Blessings are great reminders to remind us:
- Life is worth living, life is beautiful
- We can pull ourselves out of the rut and have the courage and strength within to persevere
- Be grateful with every breath that you could still breathe and what you have
- Don't take life and things for granted
- We can overcome the adversities in our life
- Things happen to help us heal and grow within
- There are people out there who are in situations far worse than us - we can do our part in society
- To love ourselves, others, life and the almighty creations of the Universe
- Wisdom lies in the bad and the good to create the person we are to become - the core of our being

Well, start traveling to your past and present and start counting your blessings each day. What are you waiting for? :)
