We can all use a reminder to pause and be grateful for all we have because it’s human nature to focus on all of the things we don’t have.

The culture we live in bombards us with messages that we should have more, do more, and be more. Driven strongly by social media and advertisements, we’re conditioned to believe that what we have isn’t enough. That’s a recipe for discontent, depression, and despair.
