The ups and downs of life are what make it worthwhile and fulfilling. Where I am now shows me that each obstacle presented before me to date is now a faint image in my past.
Goals and dreams fill my mind and heart. I see myself with more in the future, but I avoid complaining about where I am.
I am proud of my accomplishments. They show that hard work and dedication pay off in the end. They also prove that I am stronger than I think at times. My decision to keep pushing is all it takes to release added strength and drive.
Although I am limited in my spending ability, I still feel blessed by what I have. It is much more than others who are suffering as I enjoy a home-cooked meal.
Thinking of the plight of others reminds me to be grateful. It teaches me to put aside selfish and material ambitions in favor of opportunities to lend a helping hand. Being in a position to provide outreach offers real fulfilment.
I know that there is a reason for my current relationship status. I stay away from feeling envious of my friends who are married with kids. Instead, I am happy for them. My feelings of loneliness are replaced with joy when I focus on how happy my special people are.
Today, there is little that I want at this point in my life because I have everything that makes life worth living. I am happy for what I have and where I am in life.
Self-Reflection Questions:
- What am I most thankful for?
- In what ways do I offer my help to others?
- What plans do I have to achieve future goals?
