| Thanksgiving vs. Discontentment |
I am what I am!
"Gratitude consists of being more aware of what you have, than what you don’t." –Unknown
Are we discontented because we are trying to be someone else? I believe that we are caught up in an age of competition. We look at others and desire what they have. Their looks, their position, their money, their house, their aptitude, etc... Jealousy breeds discontentment.
Jealousy is definitely a “woe”. Not a Wahoo!
“The grass is always greener on the other side” idea is a deceptive perception. We cannot know what lies inside the person whose grass seems to be greener. Each of us has our own personal talents and abilities. Residing within those endowments are individual challenges as well.
Each of us has been given gifts, which are special and unique. We are individuals living among other individuals with specialized gifts. We should stop striving be someone we are not, and concentrate on being the best we can be. Take a moment and look inside... there is purpose and potential living inside of you!
Gifts are most assuredly a Wahoo! Not a “woe”.
Therefore, let us celebrate our uniqueness.
And be thankful to be “who I am”!
