Quote of the day:
"Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your misfortunes, of which all men have some.” — Charles Dickens
Consider:
I came across that gem of wisdom at a rough time in my life. The thing that amazes me now is how easily I could have missed it. I was feeling happy and fulfilled at the time, satisfied with my life and where it seemed to be taking me. I could have brushed those words aside as not applying to me. I was later glad I hadn't.
Things took an unexpected downward turn, and those words became a reference point that helped get me through the next few difficult months.
That little bit of advice helped me realize that while my circumstances had suddenly changed, that didn't change the things that counted most in life. It didn't change who I was or my main goals or values. Therefore it shouldn't rob me of the contentment I'd had before things fell apart.
The happy ending? By focusing on what I still had and not on what I had lost, I made it through that difficult time and came out happier in the end. Try focusing on the good if you find yourself in a rough spot, it will do the same for you.
Wishing you all the best,
Coach Dana
