Blessing

Everything we want doesn’t always go as planned. We might want a certain thing at a certain time and we might not get it at that desired time or we might not even get that certain item at all; that definitely has an effect in our lives and how we think, believe or overall on how we see life. I believe that everything happens for a reason or at least I try to. Sometimes it might take longer to find out why but hopefully, eventually, we will know. Over the years, I have tired to change my thinking; this time around I am trying to focus on the positive things also known as the blessings in life. At the end of the day, before going to sleep I try to reflect on my day. I pick one blessing regardless of how the day went. I write that down on a piece of paper with the date on it and put it in my treasure box. When I feel down, hopeless or want motivation or I just want to read to see what I wrote, I go into my treasure box and pick any of those paper notes. This process has helped me to see the blessings in life in the mist of all the chaos.
