Last night I read an e-mail that I got from Marc and Angel hack life. I bought their book ‘1000 little things happy successful people do differently’ a while ago and subscribed to their e-mail list. It’s very inspirational and makes you think (they’re also the makers of the Makes Me Think website that I wrote about a few weeks ago).
I thought the subject of the e-mail was very suitable for Thanksgiving Day:
10 reasons you are rich:
1. You didn’t go to sleep hungry last night.
2. You awoke this morning with a roof over your head.
3. You had a choice of what clothes to wear.
4. You haven’t feared for your life today.
5. You often worry about what you’re going to do with your life – your career, your family, the next step, etc. – which means you have ambition, passion, drive, and the freedom to make your own decisions.
6. You have a friend or relative who misses you and looks forward to your next visit.
7. You are reasonably strong and healthy – if you got sick today, you could recover.
8. You have access to food and clean drinking water.
9. You have acces to the internet.
10. You can read.
Well, if those aren’t ten reasons to be thankful for today, then I don’t know what is. Do you know that you are doing better than a lot of people in the world? Puts things into perspective, right? And these 10 are just to get you started, I’m sure there are lots more reasons that you can think of.
Another reason for me to be thankful is the people who have visited my website so far. I only started 4 weeks ago and I’ve already gotten almost 500 unique visitors. So thank you very very much for visiting The Curious Butterfly and reading my posts.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
