Gifts And Blessings

In Our Everyday Lives

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 6 months ago 1 min read
Every life is a gift

“Happiness

isn’t about what you want all the time.

It’s about

loving what you have and being grateful for it”

Many times,

happiness is ‘living in the moment’.

When we appreciate what we have today,

we rarely ‘want’ anything else.

When we are grateful

for the people we have in our lives,

we start to know what joy is.

It is important

to focus on being happy

with our lives “now”

because then

we will find the balance

that we need in life.

Happiness

comes from within our hearts

and within our lives.

Being content

with what we have in life

will give us so much peace,

and peace is so important

for our mental health.

Everything and everyone

we have in our lives

are “blessings”

and it is essential

that we remember this

every day of our lives.

Find joy in what you have today,

and love and cherish who you have

in your life.

Like life itself,

both are “gifts”.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
