One man’s trash is another man’s treasure
it’s easy to forget this when we’re constantly presented with other people’s highlight reels, their best moments
We see their lives, their vacations, their achievements and think, “why don’t I have that?”
The man who walks wishes he had a bike, the man with the bike wishes he had a car, the man with the car wishes he had a better one
But there’s a man out there wishing he could walk at all
It’s easy to take our blessings for granted, but it’s important to remember that you’re living a dream that someone else is praying for
If you don’t appreciate what you have now, how could you appreciate what’s to come¹
It’s important to find contentment and peace, rather than always constantly chasing after more
