Be thankful for what you have

There are times in your life when you say that you can't do something and you feel disappointed and you keep on concentrating on the things that you wish you had and on the things that you wish that you  didn't have. But most of the times we don;t realise that what we have and what we need are right next to where we are and we are so blind to see the people we love and the things we do that when we lose them we come to the point to appreciate them. So we have to be thankful for what you have and hope that life will be nice to you and to the people you love. We are all just passing by, traveling in a huge bubble called earth in the middle of the universe, and no one will tell you why we are here for and what is the purpose of everything you see and feel. You have to search deep inside and believe in yourself, dream big and never give up!
