Appreciate all you have

How often do you remember to appreciate what you have? As difficult as things might be, they could be a lot worse, so you always have cause to be thankful.

If you feel tempted to complain or feel sorry for yourself, stop it. And start figuring out how to best utilize the goodness that’s right in front of you.

When you obsess over what you don’t have, you’re injecting thoughts of lack and limitation into your awareness. That’s not going to end well.

Instead, appreciate all that you do have. Your appreciation informs, enables and empowers you to make much better use of existing resources and abilities.

Allow yourself to see the great value that’s already yours. Encourage yourself to expand on that value.

Appreciate all you have. And discover again in every moment how much good you can do with it all.

— Ralph Marston
