Count Your Blessings.

Try to be grateful for even the difficult and challenging situations that arise in your life.It is often through these situations that we experience the most profound spiritual and emotional growth.You can learn to view each apparent obstacle as an opportunity to develop a new quality , strength, skill,insight,or wisdom and be grateful for the lessons.Each and every challenge is another opportunity for growth and expansion.

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;

Love your neighbor as much as yourself.
