It's not uncommon for someone to sell themself short. That's a fact of life. And yet, too often are the blessings in our lives overlooked. Have you ever taken a moment to reflect on the feeling that consumes you when you witness something amazing? Just the other day, I saw a video where a child, after being injured in a major accident that left him unable to use his legs, learned to walk again for the first time. I felt warmth overtake my body. The boy in that video expressed the most genuine form of joy after being able to walk again, and I still find time to complain that I've had a cough for a week. Why is it that, as a society, we fail to see the absurdity in that?
If you never see anything in life as a guarantee, I promise it'll be much easier to be thankful for the gifts in your life. It's simple, but I believe the key to happiness is awareness - even in the darkest of times, something in your life is still a light.
