Media images can inspire you to change your outlook today as you are confronted with visions of suffering, want, and injustice more intense than you've imagined possible. You may suddenly and viscerally appreciate the mild nature of the challenges you have faced in your lifetime. Similarly, you will likely recognize the scope of your literal and spiritual wealth as it compares to the negligible resources of most of the world's population. The gratitude you feel upon realizing how fortunate you are can be both heartrending and inspirational. To make the most of your thankfulness today, allow it to motivate you to take up a charitable cause and share the richness you have enjoyed with people in need.
When we understand that the challenges we face each day are minor compared to those faced by less fortunate individuals around the globe, we can spend less time considering what our lives lack and more time enjoying the blessings we have received. Many people who are rich in both wealth and spirit nonetheless feel deprived because they make a habit of comparing themselves to more affluent peers. As we adopt a more realistic view of humanity's struggles, we can see just how fortunate we are and how grateful we should be. Life becomes vastly more pleasurable when we express our thankfulness by valuing our resources on a personal level and making use of them altruistically on a global scale. You will appreciate how fortunate you are today when you accept that your life has been relatively easy so far.
