We often get down on ourselves and totally forget what our groundings are. We forget about all the good things in life and how privileged we are. There are so many things to be grateful for in life. We just need to step back to realize them.
Getting caught up in our lives leads to depression, anxiety, stress and a bunch of other emotions. Realizing your privileges helps you to be happier with your day to day life.
Think of how lucky you are to have been born on this earth as a human being. To have food on the table and a life of which you can choose to do whatever you please. These are the privileges of most, and if you just sit down, you can think of many more.
Realizing all the privileges and the good in our lives greatly outweigh the bad is something that will lead you on your way to pure happiness. It isn't hard, it just takes realization of our lives around us.
So Just Smile about how lucky you are and about all the opportunities that you have so that you can live life to its fullest.
