If Your Hot And Miserable Close Your Eyes

With the heat rising during the summer months it is easy to be hot and miserable. Especially if you do not have any air conditioning, fans, or way to get cooled down. The thermostat outside seems to be rising everyday lately. Some days are so humid you could reach out and grab a chunk of humidity in the air.


If your miserable close your eyes for a moment. Imagine that you are in a poverty stricken country.

• There is no electric, gas, running water or any kind of utilities you are used to for daily living.
• There is very little food.
• There are bugs, snakes and poisonous insects.
• There is illness everywhere.
• You can smell death of young because of malnutrition.
• Your future is hard to picture in your mind. 

Now open your eyes...

• You are alive.
• You are safe.
• You are fortunate to have what is in front of you right now.
• You could always have it worse.

By closing your eyes and imagining that things could be worse than they are will help you appreciate what you have. It is OK to be miserable. It is OK to get hot and whine. We just have to remember to let it pass quickly when we do get those thoughts. Hanging onto miserable situations or thoughts only make things worse. If you opened your eyes with appreciation for life and humanity, you get it...

Get involved with your community and try to do what you can to help others not be miserable. You can make a difference and create a movement. A movement that would never make you miserable again. Helping others wraps your soul with material that makes you feel good all the time.

Have a day that radiates appreciation~
