A snippet from today’s self-reflection:
Recently I noticed that I was becoming so focused on the blessings of others that I was forgetting my own blessings. When I had become more focused on the blessings of others, and less focused on my own blessings, I realized I had become a monstrous, unhappy, and selfish grouch. When I decided to practice the reverse: focus on my own blessings and become more aware of the needs of others, I found that in general, the more time I focus on my own blessings and the less time I spend focusing on the blessings of others, the happier I become and the more I find I have to give to those who are less fortunate. Because of this new practice and the joy it has brought me I wanted to share…
I truly believe the world would be a more joyful place if we focus more on our own blessings and needs of others rather than the blessings of others and our own needs.
