Name them one by one

 Life is riddled with lots of ups and downs, from being a toddler to now being probably in your 20s,30s or even 40s. The way things intertwine and now seeing the full picture, of what we've  become could be satisfying or mostly not as pleasant. Those thoughts of feeling an ultimate loser after going through the rollercoaster  of life could just be the most traumatizing. 

Today as you and I, have experienced life, we could be forced to not believe in a better future any more. We could bury our hopes in a deeper place never to think of retrieving them. Its okay to not be hopeful, because hey, "life has been hard", we all thought by now our childhood or college dreams would materialise and ultimately you and I could be dancing in our glorious days. But, no, we are stuck here! 

Lets all easy up, take a deep breath and look around us. Hasn't God been good. Lets count our blessings today. Even despite not reaching where we hoped for, haven't we achieved a great deal after all? 

A couple of weeks ago, I felt really low, seeing other people prosper and I stuck in my own little not so good life. In those moments, it felt like I had done so much in the course of my life, to atleast make my dreams and aspirations grow, all in vain. In that moment I realized I had concentrated  on my shortcomings,  instead of lifting my eyes and counting my blessings.

I counted my blessings, and I learnt that as much as I had not achieved as much, but there was quiet some good impressionable achievements I had made, thanks to God's power.

You probably relate to what not counting your  blessings could result to. Maybe it could lead to depressive thoughts and that could make your life fruitful. Let us lay aside that and focus on counting our blessings, you will probably be amazed what the Lord has done.

We mostly don't realize, what we've been hating about our life progress, could be something someone is admiring. Why not count our blessings and keep building on those 'small' achievements. God is always with you, and He knows you are weary even now, but be sure to lift your eyes and count your blessings, you will be amazed at what He has done already. 

We are too occupied to have another win, and yet we forget what we've  achieved already.

Count your blessing and name them one by one.
