Three presents
How amazingly lucky and blessed would you feel if every single morning without fail you awoke and there was three priceless gifts at the foot of your bed? You would want to jump out of bed as soon as you opened your eyes. There would be no hitting the snooze button for you. Knowing that in a moment you were going to feel even more lucky and more blessed, you would rush to open the new day’s three presents.
The first present would be marked Gratitude and in it would be a reminder that you lived and loved yesterday and you’ve been given another day to do it even better. There would be a new list of some past moments that you had forgotten about that changed your life for the better.
With Gratitude rushing through your veins you eagerly open the second present marked Hope and in it would be your plans and dreams of a better day for yourself and all those you love. There would also be a reminder of some of the times that hope was the only light that drove the darkness away for you.
Feeling high on being alive and present you gently open the third present marked Love. Inside are countless pictures of the people in this world who love you and have loved you. The relatives, nurses, teachers and friends who have loved you are all there. Pictures of the people in your life right now who hold you so dearly in their hearts and care, truly care, for your happiness and well being are there too.
This isn’t a fantasy or some wild dream. Each and every morning when you awake, Gratitude, Hope and Love are present for you to focus on. There are others vying for your attention as well. There is the ever present worry and self criticism and fear.
Your day, your attitude and your well being depend greatly on which ones you open each morning. The beautiful thing is that you have a choice. You have the ability to choose to open Gratitude, Hope and Love each and every morning and you have the strength to ignore the rest.
You always have so much to be grateful for and you always have hope and you are always loved. You really are lucky and blessed. Own it!
