I was checking a new facebook notification that showed the wife of one of my best friends had "liked" a status. This triggered this thought...do I 'like' MY status, am I content with where I am.
As I eat a most wonderful leftover meal of seafood lasagna full of crap meat, scallops, and shrimp lovingly prepared by my sister. (SHOUT OUT TO SWEET CHILI RAE!)
When I look at my life, I see so many things that need to be fixed and adjusted, but I am so greatful to have one thing. CHOICE. I heard a man on TED TALKS (www.ted.com) note that wealth is attributed to choice. You want to know how rich you are, just simply evaluate your choices.
Make no mistake about it, we in America are rich in choices, but when it comes to appreciating what we have, we are banentkrupt in gratitude.
I don't find fault in wanting a better job, or wishing to start a business, or seeking a raise, but why do we find disgust in our present condition? Why that is, if we have no drive to make adjustments.
Most who wish to change realize that certain things won't happen if their financial situation is not adjusted, this is why many start business. Sadly many won't make enough to retire, or may only have a short retirement and need a change of income. This is a need driven situation that should not ride on the current of hatret for your lot in life.
Change is natural, but what we lack is a patient peace of knowing that God will provide opportunities we need and the abilities to accomplish the necessary task ahead of us.
