What life are you living?

For the vast majority, our biggest problem isn't what we think it is.

No, it is not about our career, our failures or fears.

It is the inability to see our lives through the right perspective instead.

Just think about it. It could purely be a matter of luck that nature doesn't have you down on your knees right now.

How come you're not that poor guy whose entire life got swept away by deadly floods or pummeled by the fierce hurricanes. Our luck starts playing a role from the time and place we are born.

And why even think of some extreme natural calamities to make the case?

There are those who are born without the gifts that we take for granted.

There are those who loose their loved ones too early; who are struck by grief.

The list goes on.

The intent here is not to wreak havoc on our mind but to recalibrate our perspective.

The situations we are trying to deal with are important to us and we need to deal with them. There's not much logic in diminishing the smaller problem because a bigger one exists but sometimes seeing the bigger picture helps.

And quite frankly, the real concern isn' that we will live a life without the right perspective. It is that we will die without ever really living a life.

And in the modern world it's quite a likely outcome. Taking the time to reflect on our life and the lives around does help to get us out of our shell sometime.

The life we have is beautiful. It's a blessing. The little fires that we put out only make us stronger.

Always focus on what you have. And not on what you don't. You're lucky, be grateful. Live your life with positivity. Be the problem solver, not the complainer.
