Am I lucky?

Today a close friend of mine pointed out that I am a lucky person. I was confused at this unusual compliment because I always felt that his life was perfect and he was the lucky one not me.

But today when I got home after college, this thought revolved around my mind. I really am lucky. I have a great family, great friends, an amazing dog and financial support that lets me fulfill every want of mine. What more could I ask for?

Sure, I have problems but those too trivial to even think about in comparison to the whole lot of happiness that I’ve been handed over.

No problem in the world is big enough to snatch away your happiness. As long as you have a hand to hold, you can get through anything. And if an ungrateful human like me can realize that, anyone can.

So just have a look at your life from a third person’s perspective and notice how beautiful it is. You might not have everything that you want, but you will have everything that you need, and you will have something that puts a smile on your face.
