Why Life May Be Far Better Than You Think

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart

This article is IDEAL… for a person who is having the blues, not having the best of things going on in their life, just experienced, a huge loss, like death or divorce.

Get a pad of paper to test this idea, of life is far better than you think. Did you get the paper? Well, how can you expect something to be far better than you think when you don’t even follow the directions.

Look at winners in athletics! In the Olympics, the person follows their coaches’ instructions, and they practice like the coach tells them to. And they win, if they do not, they do not win.

 Have you got the paper now? There is the temptation to end this article and begin a second time until you get that pad of paper, but we will continue now.

 If you are over the age of twenty-six years make a list of positive times in your life, fifty of them! It could be graduation; it could be you name it. A feeling of a blessing from God. A time you went to the ER and were able to go home it was nothing, and you were not admitted. Yes, fifty is a big list but let’s work on that list, there is a reason for this.

 Now make a list of all your unfortunate, disappointing, losing, hard times in life. I believe you will see an enormous difference in one list versus the other.

Counting blessings isn’t practiced too often these days or as much as it should be for sure.

Hi Dan- so often when we focus and look for the negative, that's what we find. We need to practice being grateful for what we have.
