Count Your Blessings

~ Author Unknown

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth;
Love your neighbor as much as yourself.

This poem is a great reminder to focus on seeing the glass as being half full instead of half empty. It is so easy to focus on the negative and all the bad things that happen every single day. But, it takes a courageous soul to instead see the good in every situation you encounter in life. Always remember that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
