Career Coach - How to Feel Wealthy!

train.jpgIf you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people around the world.

If you attend a religious service without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed that almost three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

You should appreciate all of your God given blessings. Don't focus on what you don't have. Don't focus on others who might have more than you in something. Focus and be thankful for how truly blessed you are.
