A Glass Full of Delight

It should come as no big surprise really that life's best lessons are learnt by living life itself.  Sometimes the best way to learn is through experience.  Sometimes it is better to heed the advice of the wise and yet at other times it is neither and one must rely on sheer instinct.  No matter what the outcome of each life-lesson, we have a habit of complaining and wishing for something more, something else.  The pursuit appears to be endless but what if we paused just for a second and looked around us? Will we suddenly find ourselves more fortunate than another? Will we stop lamenting about our woes and wishing that the next person's troubles never find their ways to our home?  The answer most certainly is a YES. 

Each one of us have our own battles to fight.  Each and every family has their Achilles' heels.  By wishing our troubles away and complaining that our glass is half empty we do ourselves no good.  Instead if we look at the half-filled glass we have, we can focus on the joys they bring and perhaps be less judgemental about our own selves and of others.  This holiday season let's try and enjoy whatever the glass holds for each of us and try to relax a little.  Times are getting tougher and the fight of our lives will continue to unfold as a new year dawns upon us.
