"I am too blessed to be stressed and too grateful to be hateful"

This is a quote that I often see on Twitter and Instagram. I'm not too sure who said it but it really stands out to me; its true and authentic in the ways in which it should apply to life.
Sometimes we often forget how blessed we are. We tend to overlook the things we have and end up taking things for granted.
For example many of us are lucky to have a roof over our heads, food to eat and whilst some may not be privileged to receive free education until the age of 18, others are blessed with this opportunity but do not realise the opportunity given to them and waste it. These are the things often overshadowed by our inability to be content with what we have.
Instead of focusing on what we have, we focus on what we don't have. 
You need to be grateful for the things you have, no matter the size of it, it's still something.
Don't worry about what others have and most importantly don't compare your blessings with others. Comparisons can easily mislead you into envying others.
We need to understand that contentedness can never be fulfilled once we focus on comparing our achievements with that of others. With that said, once we are gazed on comparing lifestyles or whatever, we will never be grateful because we don't have the things that others have. But how are we sure that we need those things? It's a vicious cycle, always chasing after things and not taking time out to observe what we have and feeling grateful. We end up feeling empty, incomplete and dissatisfied to name a few; creating non-existent problems, we attempt to solve them but only end up digging our holes deeper because we were never content.
So, all in all, the message I leave with you today is...
Count your blessings and be more grateful; counting problems will only make you hateful.
