Perspective

Greetings to all!!! I pray the day is treating you well. It is amazing in our life and times how much things have changed and advanced throughout the years. We don't know what we would do without our Blackberries, cell phones, Internet, instant communication. We are a society of now!! A society that is focused on the material things and what we want when we want it. If you look at other cultures, other lives around the world, you will discover that the things we stress over are so small in the bigger picture of life. We get mad if we have no reception on the cell phone, but so many people do not have a phone!! We complain about the food we eat, or what we won't eat when thousands have no food to eat!! "What am I going to wear today??" When others have no clothes to wear!! I look around at my designer bags, flat screen TVs, computer, cell phone, etc... I look in my child's room and see toys, clothes with tags, TV, movies, things...am I teaching him to appreciate what he has and the life he has been given or am I creating a person that will think life owes him something? What is your perspective? How do you spend your time, spend the days of your life? Do you have a solid, grounded perspective? Do you understand that life is not about what you have or don't have? Do you understand that life does not begin when you have that dream job, dream home, dream car...but life begins when you appreciate what you have and where your life is going because of who you are NOT what you have? Plenty of people love their life with much less than we have. If we stop clouding our lives with the material things that don't matter, we may find that life is greater and sweeter when we appreciate the smaller things. Love you all!!!
