Breathe

Breathing in air and I am grateful, each step I take I thank God for these two legs and arms that help me to get from place to place, I am grateful to even be alive, to have been given another day, to be able to even write and collect my thoughts and share them, they say surround yourself with positive people but I think it's grateful souls we should be seeking, grateful souls see the good in everything, they live in the here and now and always find something to praise God for - no matter how Grimm the surroundings, being aware of just how much we are blessed disconnects the energetic chord between the ego and ourselves and allows us to appreciate life as it is and not attach some expectation of how we think it should be, it allows us to see the good in everyone and shine our lights day and night, gratitude cultivates the richest faith, grateful people will take the most overlooked spec of dust on the ground and say THANK YOU because they recognize just how important everyone and everything's role is on earth, never allow your soul to be drained by those who are perpetually dissatisfied, they are not bad people, they just have not accepted that they too are worthy of happiness, the ego keeps them locked tight in a vicious cycle of "I never have enough" - their ego ensures that they never see the good in anything no matter how many blessings God delivers, no matter the circumstance they always find another reason why they can't enjoy their life - so stay blessed, stay grateful, even if you have nothing at all except your bones and your body, take a moment to say thank you for being alive here in this moment - there are many who didn't make it today. ~Will "Story" Rivera
