Remember the little things that make your life perfect

Try this out: Get a pen and paper and write down why this moment in your life is perfect.

Forget about the past, forget about previous suffering. Just focus on the now. Focus on what you have, on little things you own but might have overlooked amid all the clamor and troubles of life. Focus on things that have meaning to you and that are present at this very moment. Your friends, your parents, your sisters or brothers, your partner, your children, your pet... whoever and whichever you think is important and you still have. Focus on the things that you seem to ignore in your everyday life. Your vision, your limbs, your health, the fact that you see, hear, talk, walk and/or run if you want. The fact that you can, while some other people can't. Focus on what you know. Focus on the things that matter. Your intellect, your enthusiasm, your humor, your love for others, your courage, your compassion, your foresight, whatever you believe makes you human and makes you who you are. Why is this moment different? Why today is, or could be, better than yesterday. If you find it so difficult to find beauty in this very moment then remember a time when you were "happy" and satisfied, write down the reasons why that particular moment was beautiful or happy and try to recreate this happiness, this beauty. Remember your state at the time, what had made "then" different from "now"? On paper, you could easily pin it down and as you write you will remember what you lack. It would also be useful to jot down whatever that you have now, which you did not have back then, just to be able to remember that you might be lucky to be here now and not before, and not back then. Remember things you gained along the way.

Just remember one thing while you do all this; that you are responsible for your state whatever it is, good or bad, happy or sad. You alone, your thinking and your approach to life with its ups and downs makes all the difference. If you want this moment to be perfect, you will know how to make it so and vice versa. Remember the little things and the little details that really and truly make life good. See if you've got them and start from there. Believe me, just being here and now is a blessing. Being given a moment to share life, to share with others is something to be thankful for. So be thankful. Be here and everytime you face a problem, take a deep breath, sit at your desk and write down why this moment is perfect. When you finally see that you have all what matters -even if it was hidden from your eyes before- no problem will seem so big, and nothing would be worth the worry and the pain.

Have fun!!
