Recognizing Blessings By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ryan_D_Neely]Ryan D Neely
I used to wonder where my happiness went. There were times in my life where it seemed I was happier and then my motivation seemed to suddenly disappear. I thought maybe it was because of a change in seasons or times in my life. However, I came to learn that my happiness was based on more than my circumstances. It was based on how I reacted to what was happening in my life.
I was so focused on creating the life I wanted that when something I did not plan to happen took place, I became discouraged. I believed that I was supposed to be in control of my life. If there was something I wanted, I was supposed to find a way to have it. If there was somebody I liked, I was supposed to find a way to date them. If there was a place I was trying to go, I was supposed to find a way to get there.
I finally came to a point in my life where I began to accept things as they were. As soon as I reached that point, things began to clear up. I began to see the positives rather than what I thought were negatives.
If a job decided to not hire me, I knew there was a better one waiting for me, and I was right. If a woman decided not to like me, I knew she was not the one and I was correct. If I did not have enough money to purchase an item, I knew it was not the item I needed or simply not the time to buy it. In other words, what I could have seen as shortcomings, I decided to see as blessings.
Today, I try to find a blessing in everything I do and everywhere I go. I expect something good to happen for me every day. Not only that, I try to do multiple good things on my own to make the day better for others. I am a much happier person and have realized that I could have been just as happy in the past.
When something does not go our way, we need to know that the change is going to work out better in our favor. If it is raining outside and we cannot play outside, it is an opportunity to read a book or watch a good movie or television show. If we have to work an extra hour at work, it is an opportunity to make more money. If we are out of a certain food in the cabinet, it is an opportunity to eat something different.
Recognizing blessings will bring us into the happiness we have been looking for. We must understand that we were put here on earth to serve a purpose and that purpose was not to be miserable. Therefore, recognize the blessings in your life, and believe that everything is working out for your good.
