Count Your Blessings... Twice!

"Olójú kan kìí mọ'yì Ọlọ́run à fi tí nǹkan bá gbọ̀n si " A person with a bad eye is seldom thankful to God, until a speck enters the good one. We have too many options and not enough gratitude. Especially perfectionists! We can get tangled up in complaining about all the things that aren't meeting the standard, instead of optimizing everything that is going well. And then, out of nowhere comes the proverbial paradigm shift!  Suddenly,  the circumstances change and so do our priorities. Then, we gain an even deeper appreciation for the goal or desired outcome. In those instances, we see how important it is to celebrate all meaningful contributions and available resources. Live the medicine.
