The bigger picture

There are 7 billion people on the earth.

I am one of those 7 billion.

One. 

Just one person with a blessed life.

I have so many things to be grateful for. So many things others go without. Sure I have my trials, everyone does, but for mine to weigh more importance then others is silly. We each have trials to over come. It took one person two thousand miles away to make me recognize that. 

"I can tell you one thing, I only feel worthless or unimportant or sad or repetitive or frustrated when I am focused on myself. And I am most happy when I lose myself in helping others out or just simply talking to others. Happiness is others, and happiness is a choice. So why are you choosing to be unhappy?"

--Bruce

"Selfishness is only self-destruction in slowmotion."

I am far too worried about myself and issues pertaining to me. Too concerned with the low parts of my life that it is becoming so much harder to see it for what it really is. It is time to look at the bigger picture, time to emerse myself in others. Spend my time doing something worth while. Leave footprints in the hearts of people I serve instead of being self absorbed. 

Hopefully things will take on a much more upbeat tune in my life these following weeks. It's something I will be working on.
