What do you have?

Each of us walks a path, one that is filled with wonders, trials, and joys.  While we know we love a mountain top experience we find our greatest growth comes from adversity and challenge.  When we find ourselves in the valley of despair it is hard to see the significance or meaning that is being drawn from this great well of wisdom.  We do not know the rest of the story yet!   

All too often we get caught up in the focus of what we do not have or possess.  It could be assets, skills, talent, or knowledge.  This feeling of deficiency over takes us and it can be a paralyzing.  It leads us into a pit of despair that can become a principal factor in developing a spirit of failure.  Once we give our self over to this cloud of doom we have lost.  

If we could rewind our thoughts at the point of seeing only what we do not have and refocus on what we do possess we can be free of this trap. Free to seek what we can possess.  Each of us has the skills, talent, and knowledge that are able to get us to that feeling of success.  A spirit of victory is attainable.  Count your blessing, be thankful for what you do have, seek ways to bless others, and choose to focus on what you do have rather than what you don’t.
