"You're richer than 75% of this world."
Many of us have dreamed of winning the lottery or fantasized about how happy we would be if only we had great wealth.
Compared to the bulk of the world, you are already enormously wealthy. You have possessions that most people only dream of, and access to opportunities that many women can hardly fathom. You have food in the fridge, clothes on your back and a roof over your head.
You have the wealth that others desire.
So, as you go through your daily tasks, treasure and appreciate everything you have. You can't help but feel blessed when you look at your life through a window of gratitude.

Express Gratitude
When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. Kinda cool right? So basically, being grateful for the goodness that is already evident in your life will bring you a deeper sense of happiness. And that's without having to go out and buy anything. It makes sense. We're gonna have a hard time ever being happy if we aren't thankful for what we already have.
Life as it is
Life is not lived in some far-off, imagined land of someday where everything is perfect. It is lived here and now, with the reality of the way things are.
Yes, by all means you can work toward an idealized existence. Yet to do so, you must successfully deal with the world as it is.
That, in fact, is much of what gives life its richness. Even though your present circumstances are less than ideal, you can nonetheless prevail and prosper.
The real and present difficulties never have to give you a reason to give up. On the contrary, they provide you with a clearly defined path for moving forward.
If everything was already perfect, there would be no opportunity to make improvements. There would be no way to enjoy the profound satisfaction of making a positive difference.
Enthusiastically embrace life as it is, with all the ups and downs. For within the context of life as it is you can make it truly outstanding.
