Look around you… While you may not realize it right away, take a step back and look at your life…

The job you have,

The people in your life,

The home you live in,

The person by your side,

The quiet moments of peace you once waited for,

Everything in your life you once prayed for,

So, while you feel you do not have many things you need and want now,

Think about the blessing you are living in right now,

It takes time,

To slowly and steadily work towards your goals and dreams,

It takes time to receive blessings,

Realize what you have received thus far,

Take it in,

Let the gratitude fill your being,

And truly believe,

That the next door is waiting to open,

Bringing you to what you are wishing for now,

Till then, live in the moment,

Continue your routine,

Work towards your dreams,

And never forget to smile along the way,

As the journey equally important as the destination!
