Today I came across a very witty text written by an unknown author:

 

Talent and looks are

God Given.

Be thankful.

Fame and money are

Men created.

Be Grateful.

Attitude and Ego are

self-created.

Be mindful.

 

There is a fine balance between being grateful and appreciative of what you have and at the same time staying mindful, centered, and grounded.

There are also moments when upon comparing ourselves with others we are not doing so great. Yet again– staying mindful, centered and grounded is key.

At any given moment when we compare ourselves to others, we`ll always stumble upon someone who is healthier, or better looking, or makes more money or just seems happier.

But essentially – we all came and we`ll all go to the same place (as mysterious as this place is).  Both times alone and empty handed. I believe that we all have our unique journeys with different lessons to learn and different gifts to enjoy and appreciate – some are given the gift of attractive looks, others- the gift of health, and some others- the gift of wealth. Our task is to learn our lessons and evolve.  I really don’t think attitude and ego are going to help in this, but will only slow us down.
