You are not who they say you are.
Written by Jeff Wright on Oct. 17th 2020
People may tell you that you’re not good enough, not smart enough, not good looking enough, you talk funny…and that is ONLY TRUE IF YOU BELIEVE IT!
You are unique. There has been nor every will be anyone exist who is EXACTLY like you. The fact is, according to Google, you defied a 1 in 400 TRILLION in odds of even being born and that makes you unique. It means you have value and have something to offer to the world. The fact that you woke up this morning should make you more grateful that winning the lottery.
Here’s an example of how valuable you are: If Warren Buffet were to offer you a billion dollars in cash today, but the catch is that you would not live to see tomorrow morning, would you take it? My guess is that most sane people wouldn’t and if you are refusing the billion dollars for your life then guess what? YOUR LIFE IS PRICELESS! Knowing that you have defied odds in the trillions, would you disagree that your life is pretty special?
After going through bad relationships, we are often called the worst things imaginable. We dwell on it and once we dwell enough we start to believe it and that is where lives begin to fall apart. The only way to look at any problem or situation regardless of what it is, it’s important to look at these problems with gratitude. It’s impossible to be grateful and negative at the same time. I will be the first to tell you that it’s a practice easier said than done, but I did it and my life became so much richer because of it.
It's always important to remember that no bad situation lasts forever. There’s an end to everything. When I got divorced, I felt horrible and insanely guilty and regretful. The process of divorce is incredibly destructive on every level. Once I finally started being grateful for what had happened and learned from my mistakes, I no longer listened to the voices in my head coming from my former wife. We were both at fault. We both made terrible choices. It always takes two. But what I’ve learned is that blessings often come from our mistakes and our learning from them. You only get stronger when you have problems to solve.
My blessing came from moving to Tampa and meeting my new wife, absolute love of my life. I took all the mistakes in the first marriage and worked hard to make sure those will never get repeated. As painful as my divorce was, it gave me in the end one of the greatest gifts I could ever receive and if you choose to look at your problems from a place of gratitude, knowing that you are special and that you do have value, I’m betting blessings will be on their way to you as well.
