Whenever you think your life is getting tough and you get a little sad, depressed and you feel you have lost hope. It is not all that bad.

Think about it…most of us have everything, I have everything, I can have everything. Ok maybe not a huge palace on an isolated island with some drop, dead gorgeous, rich, ambitious, intellectual husband who loves me so much but more or less I am very fortunate compared to more than half the children in the world. And you know what I keep thinking? OMG some girls my age are married, or being sold as slaves, or are being raped, kidnapped, tortured, abused, they live in war zones, have to sell themselves to buy food.So why in the world would someone like me be miserable? Throw me out there in their life, which ought to teach me a lesson on being grateful for what I have. Then I figured it out…

We live in such a complex society so we always complicate things, our problems are complex, the situation of the nations is complex, our systems, finance, economy , technology its all bits and bits of complexity entangling us all in its web of endless spaghetti. Thus our complex issues, and problems that we always tend to over analyze; I mean haven’t you noticed how smart and intellectual we have gotten? Alright, so they did not call because they A. do not like me, B. feels bad for what they did so that is why they are not calling and there is always a C. seriously? What if they forgot? ??

Nope we do not believe that there always has to be something. Us humans like to analyze, write books about everything, we’re analyzing ourselves, our friends, our friends’ friends, our pets, our family, our family’s family, our friends’ family, the economy, world  politics, we try to have it all figured out. Thus, we forget to breath, live, love and forgive. We forgot how easy it is to laugh and try to have fun because we are always worrying and overanalyzing .

Just stop , think, take a deep breath and relax and be grateful for everything you have because beautiful people, we are very lucky compared to a lot of people out there, we won the golden lottery ticket in life.
