6 Reasons To Be More Happy

I recently subscribed to the very inspirational blog Marc and Angel Hack Life, which makes me pause and think about all the things in my life that I should be grateful for. 

Today it's 6 Reasons Someone Wishes They Were You or 6 Reasons To Be More Happy:

1. You are educated enough to read this.

Literacy is the bridge that closes the gap between discouragement and confidence, between confusion and understanding, and between sadness and hope. It’s the greatest platform of personal growth, and the means by which every human being can realize their full potential.

2. You are reasonably healthy.

In other words, if you got sick today you could recover.

Never underestimate the gift of your health. It’s the greatest wealth you will ever own. It’s the foundation for every chance at happiness and success life has to offer. Your body is the only place you will truly ever live.

3. You have the freedom to choose.

In the space between your yes and no, there’s liberation. It’s the difference between the path you walk and the one others want you to walk; it’s the gap between who you could become and who you want to be; it’s the legroom of free choice – a liberty that should never be taken for granted.

4. You have enough wealth to live comfortably.

You didn’t go to sleep hungry last night. You awoke this morning with a roof over your head. You had a choice of what clothes to wear. You have access to clean drinking water and electricity. You are online right now.

5. You have a home.

Home isn’t a physical structure, or a specific location on a map. Home is wherever the people you love are, whenever you’re with them – even if your encounter is virtual. It’s not a defined place, but a space in your heart and mind that builds upon itself like little bricks being stacked to create something stable that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go.

6. You still have a chance.

What you must decide is what you want to do with the time you have left. If your lifespan were to expire this evening at the stroke of midnight, would you be at ease with how you have spent your time today? This is not a rhetorical question. Nothing is guaranteed.

What are you most grateful for today?
