Whenever I feel like complaining, I stop in my tracks. Do you realize how lucky you are to simply have been blessed with the gift of life? The statistical odds of that are 1 in 400,000,000,000,000! For goodness sake, being a human being is like winning the lottery twenty times in a row!

It's natural for people to occasionally feel down and feel resentful and to feel frustrated and to feel like the world is caving in on them. I feel that way a lot! But I always have to remind myself to be appreciative of the privilege I have and the position I have been granted. I have no excuse, because so many creatures and people have it so much harder than me. Think about all the amazing things in your life. Think about all the amazing things that you might be able to achieve - God willing - in your future.

But if you just stew and act mad towards the world, then you won't see the potential and opportunities that exists within it. Positivity is like a flashlight lighting a dark cave full of hidden treasure and precious metals. When your happy attitude shines towards the once scary edges of the cavern, then you see the beautiful shining diamonds that coat the ground and ceiling.

Positivity illuminates your world. It allows you to see the beauty that is often missed by those who stay blind through their negativity. And what you see the beauty that exists, you realize the incredible potential there is for you to be successful, happy, and "shining."

So keep your head up. And never forget.... 1 in 400,000,000,000.
