“You only have your thoughts and dreams ahead of you. You are someone. You mean something.”
–Batman
Are you the type that wakes up with a smile and gratitude in your heart or are you the type that wakes up already defeated because of all the difficulties you realize you have to face that day? Maybe you’re both, depending on whether it’s a weekday or a weekend. Does the agenda of the upcoming day play a big role in how you feel?
The natural answer would be yes of course. However, we allow ourselves to become immediate victims to the chain of thoughts that creep into our minds about events that haven’t even unfolded yet. This is why it is so important to take control over our minds but place our attention and focus on what we can control and not on what we can’t.
Reflect on your strengths and all those things that bring you joy. You are so important to many others around you, don’t forget that. Your role in society and in the life that surrounds you is vital, you are irreplaceable. No one has your personality, talents, and aura. No one is you!
Remember, we all suffer in some way or the other and we are imperfect. Take a reflection on the perfection that walked the earth many years ago and the suffering He had to endure to redeem us from our imperfection. Perhaps it’ll give you some perspective and allow you to appreciate your life a bit more.
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14 NIV
The world needs you, please stay!
