Everyone is gifted but not everyone opens the package. Sometimes God allows us
to experience disappointment only to teach us lessons that we could not learn in
any other way. We could learn these lessons by not denying the feelings but to
find the meaning that is underlying them.
Sometimes what you're
looking for, comes when you're not looking at all. Breakups aren't
always meant for makeup's, sometimes, they're meant for wakeups... |
If we look at what we don't have in life, we will never have enough. I have
learned that we must reflect upon our present blessings, of which every man has
many, not on what we don’t have nor our past misfortunes, of which all men have
some.
We should make our blessings count. Zinedine Zidane, a renowned French
footballer recognized his blessings and made them count. He once said that he
cried because he had no shoes to play football with his friends, but one day he
saw a man who had no feet and he realized how rich he was.
We should
certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings
count; count
our joys instead of our woes; count our friends instead of
our foes. |
The best things in life are free. It is important that should never lose sight
of that. We should look around us, wherever we see friendship, loyalty,
laughter, and love those are our treasures.
I
have also learned that we should count our garden of blessings by the flowers,
never by the leaves that fall; count our days, by golden hours; count our nights
by stars, not shadows; count our years with smiles, not tears; and
REMEMBER, OUR MOST PRIZED
POSSESSIONS ARE OUR UNEXPIRED YEARS,
so be grateful and enjoy them.

The struggle of
life is one of the greatest blessings. It makes patient,
sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is
full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of
it.-Helen Keller |
