Self-reflection: What are you thankful for today?
4:00:00 pm
Have you ever had that moments where you feel like your life's miserable, you keep on comparing your's to others and you just feel like you want more? I do..i used to.. almost everyday. Sometimes there were times when I felt lost, empty and didn't know what I want in my life. I always compare myself to others.
"She's beautiful. I wish I had her nose."
"She's rich. She can afford almost anything. If only I'm rich!"
"I am not successful enough. I want more."
"I'm depressed! I don't like my job. I wish I can work somewhere else."
"Oh why can't I be like her?"
Sound familiar? I bet most of us have had that kind of moments right?
Sometime a wake-up call can be in many forms. In my case it was my husband. One fine day as I was babbling about someone else's life and how I wish I can be like her, my husband suddenly turned to me and says,
"You have so much to thankful for. You have a good life. Why would you want to compare and be someone else? There might be some obstacles in your life, ups and downs but God also gave you so many blessings in other forms. And you should be thankful for that. Instead of being negative you should always see the positive side. You have a choice, whether to become happy or to continue to become depressed. So each time you feel like getting in that bubble of negative thoughts, always remind yourselves of all the things you're thankful to.. all the blessing."
Yes. There're so many things I should be thankful for.
My husband. My daughter, My job. My good health. My friends. My family. They complete me. They're my blessings and I should be thankful for that.
Now tell yourself this, today I am thankful for......
