Be happy with what you have!

Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight
   just remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.

Should you find yourself stuck in traffic
   don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work
   think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad
   think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend
   think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance
   think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror
   think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking "what is my purpose?"
   be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities
   Remember, things could be worse.

You could be them!
