being thankful for what you have is when you can make the most progress
 

this is a deep thread...

its interesting that when once in awhile we concern ourselves and get depressed about whatever our life is lacking, that all it takes is a dose of reality to make you realize that things could be MUCH worse - and it's great once you experience this, as it is the time that you are really able to be happy regardless of the petty insigificant things that your life might lack. these petty insignificant things can be many of the obsessions we commonly associate ourselves with, like materialism , finances, etc... because when it comes down to it, if you have your health and you have your sanity, it's all that matters, as having those 2 things allows you to continue life, and better your situation. we all know the phrase, life goes on.

and under these often times (unfortunately) short lived positive perspectives, are the times in which we make the most progress in every aspect.

thank you.

I'm bookmaring this, so I can read it tommorrow.
It makes me want to finish up some projects.
