Life
can bring us down from time to time. At some point, you may find yourself in what
you will consider as your darkest hour. As you try to find your way out of that
bad situation, you should try to remind yourself that there will always be a reason
to be grateful.
If
you look at your situation now and compare it with someone else who is in much deeper
trouble than you, I am sure that you'll find something to be thankful for. We all
have our share of problems, but complaining about them so much only makes us blind
to the fact that there are the miracles (奇迹) which
happen around us each day.
When
all your needs are provided, then you should be content and happy. If you have a
roof over your head, some proper clothes to wear, enough food on the table, a comfortable
place to sleeping, clean water to drink and you are free to make your own choices,
then you should be happy and grateful. Many people all around the world especially
those who are at war or those in very poor countries, would give anything to
be in your shoes.
Even
if you lose all your money or possessions and your heart is broken for some reason,
as long as you are still alive, then everything you have lost can be regained. If
you have a few good friends who will be there to support or help you, then you will
be glad because true friends are hard to find. As long as you have someone to love
and someone to love you back, then you are a very fortunate person. Remember to
be patient and trust that things will get better.
