.......................Kind of gives you a whole new perspective  .................... 

Perspective:

Sometimes the simple act of stepping back and changing our vantage
point can help us to better appreciate the richness of our lives.
Here are a couple of things to consider:
 
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your
back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep........
you have more material wealth than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a
dish somewhere...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy
 
If you can read this post, your gift of education gives you an
advantage that 40%+ of the worlds citizens don't have.
 
Kind of gives you a whole new perspective doesn't it?
 
Remember this with gratitude and humility the next time you start to
feel yourself focusing on "need" or lack. True Wealth comes
from a sense of respect and appreciation of your blessings. Sometimes
this simple moment of recognition can propel us forward by clearly
highlighting all of the advantages and potential we do have.
 
Today's Exercise:
 
Say `Thank You'. Shift your perspective. Take a moment to reflect on
all of the advantages you have in this World, and then think of those
who don't have the beautiful gifts of education, housing, healthcare,
or food.

Realize the ability to shape your thought patterns from "have
not" to "have'. Shift your thoughts towards abundance & sharing
rather than lack & be generous and humbled by the blessings in your
life. Record what this shift in perspective has shown you in your
journaling.
