‘Someone else is praying for the things you take for granted.’
In our daily busy minds, we find ourselves so caught up in getting more that we forget to appreciate that which we already have. Most of us, me included take the important things for granted. We complain, make a fuss and even do unspeakable things in our quest to get more. Ambition is good really but ambition if not controlled can have devastating aftermaths. We must find time in our busy minds to be grateful for the little big things. Someone out there is dying to have half of what you already have. Maybe most of us are not opportune to meet people like that but believe me they do exist. While you are at war with your parents over their refusal to get you an iphone 6 someone out there just wants a roof over their heads. While you are planning to buy a new shade of lipstick, someone somewhere just wants water to quench their thirst. Next time you are blinded by your heart to throw a fit over unimportant things, do well to remind yourself that you have the basic comfort in life; you have all and more of another child’s dream. Be grateful, raise up your hands and say a thankful prayer.
However, I am not discouraging you from wanting things, no. It is very normal for us to want things. I am just reminding you not to be blinded by that want and remember to see the beauty in simple things. Have a wonderful day! xx
