DOES LIFE REALLY SUCK?

It's amazing how many of us dwell on the life that we don't have; the life we wish we could have; and the life we once had. We fail to see and appreciate the life we actually have.

Recently I have had so much on my plate. I often wonder if any of it is really worth it. What's the point of life if you have to struggle to live through it. Right?

What I didn't see is that there is more to life beyond the things I wish I had. I was so consumed by the things I didn't have that I failed to appreciate what I actually have.

Life isn't a fairytale story and no person is a fairytale prince or princess. Maybe If we only understood the essence of life, it wouldn't seem so difficult.

I have a friend who is going through a really tough time right now. It saddens my heart that she's going through all that. Most painful thing is that I can not do anything to make it any better. All I can do is pray I guess.

However, she has given me a reason to be grateful for the life I have. Not to worry about the future or be bothered by the past but to live in the present. The present is where life's at.

I have often complained about not being where I want at this point in my life. But at the same time I have failed to be grateful for where I am right now.

No one likes a person who is constantly complaining about stuff. Maybe if the person can show a little bit of gratitude it would all get better.

Some of the things I desire for myself are a luxury some people can't afford at this time. They want what I have. Some people just want to live, they aren't bothered about anything else.

Some just want good health. The ability to see their loved ones, to talk to their loved ones or even hear them talk.

I have chosen to always be grateful with what I have and where I am. Tomorrow doesn't really matter much (I may not get to see it). Live in the present, appreciate the moment before you.

All the things I'm worried about won't matter if I don't have a life to live. I choose to take life as it comes. A step at a time.

At the end of the day life doesn't suck, if one stops worrying about what they don't have and be grateful for what you have. Take one step at a time. You never know what will come next.

Thanks for stopping by❤️

Yes it does, life goes on.
Thank you❤️

Excellent publication, a deep reflection many times we insist on looking and going after what we don't have forgetting what we do have.

Yes indeed, I guess it's something inherent in most of us.

Truly showing gratitude for the things we have is key. We take life one step at a time. Thanks for sharing
