If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...
you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...
you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...
you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace...
you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married...
you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...
you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you prayed yesterday and today...
you are in the minority because you believe God does hear and answer prayers.
If you can read now...
you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Dikutip dari Afterhours Inspirational Stories,
membaca ini benar-benar mengingatkan gw untuk bersyukur.
Betapa kita memiliki banyak hal yang harusnya patut kita syukuri,
dan kita masih mengeluh dan meminta lebih.
Betapa kiat tidak menyadari banyaknya orang yang lebih menderita daripada kita,
dan kita masih meminta untuk karunia yang berlebih dan sempurna.
Bersyukurlah saat kau bangun dari tidurmu karena kau masih bernafas...
Bersyukurlah karena kau tidak pernah merasakan derita kelaparan, perang, siksaan, penjara, wabah penyakit...
Bersyukurlah atas makanan yang kau makan, pakaian yang kau kenakan, dan rumah tempat kau tinggal...
Bersyukurlah atas uang yang kau miliki...
Bersyukurlah kau masih memiliki orang tua dan mereka masih bersama sampai sekarang...
Berdirilah tegak, tersenyumlah, dan bersyukurlah sepenuh hati.
Berdoalah dan berterima kasihlah pada Tuhan.
Dan masih banyak lagi hal yang harus kita syukuri atas kehidupan yang kita miliki.
Ingatlah untuk bersyukur. :)
"As each day comes to us refreshed and anew,
so does my gratitude renew itself daily.
The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world."
(Adabella Radici)
+Lyrics of the day+
Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed
I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed
And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You'll be blessed
I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed
(Blessed by Elton John)
