15 Signs You’re
Doing Well In Life Even Though You Don’t Think So
Sarita King
Let’s face it, sometimes life feels like it’s falling
apart at the seams. Perhaps you’ve lost your job,
or your marriage just ended, or you failed to pass an
exam and now you are simply feeling helpless and defeated. Winston Churchill
once said: “Success consists of going from failure to failure
without loosing enthusiasm.” Today I want to remind you
why, even though you may be feeling
a bit like a failure, you are most definitely not.
Here are 15 signs that show you are doing well in life
even though you don’t think so!
1. You’ve lived
and learned
No one said life was easy and while the bumps on the road
may hurt, the ride is definitely worth it. Think back to your failures and
defeats. You must know they were all for a reason
and part of a grander plan. Each difficulty has led
you to where you are at today,
each trial has molded you into the magnificent,
resilient, person that you are.
Continue to move forward in faith, hope and love, knowing
that each experience has taught you what you need to become who you were born
to be.
2. You have
a comfy bed to sleep in
I’ll never forget an interview done on NPR a while back.
A young Haitian mother told her story.
She had little ones that constantly wondered when they
would be able to eat and go to school l
ike all the other kids around them. What impacted me the
most about this story was their sleeping arrangements: they all laid on the
dirt floor, and at night if it rained everyone would have to get up,
grab whatever was left of their “bed” and move to a dry spot. This story
gave me a whole new appreciation for my bed and I hope it does the same thing
for you!
3. You strive to
be better
The fact you are feeling a bit down because you haven’t
achieved what you want to achieve
shows you are trying. In the grand scheme of things, you
always strive to be better
and for as long as you continue to do that, happiness,
success and love will come – j
ust don’t give up. Einstein once said: “It’s not that I
am so smart, it’s that I stay with problems longer.” Hang in there and never
stop striving to be all you can be!
4. You have/had a
job
Whichever way you look at this one, it is still a win-win
situation for you. If you have a job: kudos! Keep at it and know that you are
richly blessed. If you recently lost your job, don’t fret!
You’ve gotten a job before, you can get one all over
again. Perhaps this is the opportunity
you’ve been waiting for to do something you truly love to
do. Keep searching, keep hoping,
and know that you can accomplish the seemingly impossible
if you work hard and believe you can.
5. Knowledge is at
your fingertips
In this day and age, you can learn anything and
everything you want. Knowledge is truly
at your fingertips! Since knowledge is power, seize that
power and let it assist you in the pursuit of your dreams. Take
advantage of all the “learning” opportunities that come your way.
6. You have food
to eat
Sometimes a bit more than you should! Food is such an
overlooked blessing, yet if you miss it
for a few hours you start feeling the necessity of it.
Take the time to enjoy your next meal,
whatever that is, savor each bite and remind yourself
that happiness is found in enjoying
the simple things of life, such as eating a piece of pie.
7. You have the
power to choose
Aristotle once said: “Excellence is never an accident. It
is always the result of high intention,
sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents
the wise choice of many alternatives –
choice, not chance, determines your
destiny.” Need I say more? Claim your power to choose.
8. You’ve
experienced love butterflies or something like it
Ahh! To be in love…to feel your whole body literally
react to that moment
when you simply steal a glance from the one you are
infatuated with. Experiencing such a natural, basic and simple, yet passionate
moment will give you memories that will last a life time.
You are beyond blessed to have experienced such a sublime
moment!
9. You have clean water
This one should not be overlooked. Do you ever watch Bear
Grills and all his desperate moves
to get just a few ounces of muddy water? There
are also people who aren’t going without water because they have a
survival show, but instead because it is their harsh reality.
Around 783 million people do not have access to clean
water around the globe.
Be thankful and fully aware that you are doing well in
life even if you don’t think so.
10. You have a
dream
Whatever your dream is, it’s yours. You have the ability
to embrace it and create it.
Don’t give up on dreaming or on your dreams. They are
what life’s best things are made up of.
11. Your happiness
is real
You have the power to choose happiness for your life in
everything you do
and in every circumstance. Your happiness is
defined by whether or not you are able to discern and seize an opportunity
to feel happy. It may be something as simple as enjoying the laughter of a
child.
12. You have
clothes to wear
And sometimes too many options, which trumps your
productivity, but that is another subject.
The bottom line is, you don’t have to go naked through
the streets or poorly dressed.
You enjoy the blessing of being properly dressed for
every occasion and have the ability
to shield your
body from the elements. Really, life would get very cold without clothes.
13. You have the
ability to forgive
Can you imagine what this world would look like without
forgiveness?
Never mind the world, just your life! Imagine how bogged
down, bitter and unhappy
you would be if you did not have the ability to forgive
other’s mistakes as well as your own.
It would make it nearly impossible to live and most
definitely a nightmare to move on with life
when difficulties arose. You have the unique gift of
forgiving and moving on.
14. You believe in
something greater than yourself
For all the times you were so caught up in your own
little world and drowning in a kiddie pool version of life’s problems, you’ve
had the ability to step back and realize that you have something greater to
live for than yourself. Whether it is God, your family or friends,
you can believe that your purpose is to achieve something
that will be for the greater good
or to simply bring honor to your God.
15. You have the
opportunity to build global friendships
In today’s day and age, your best friend can literally be
five thousand miles away
yet you can still experience the beauty of that
friendship. You have the unique capacity
to be acquaintances with one person in almost every
country of the world, something
no other generation before the 1900’s was easily able to
do. As far as I am concerned, your global ability to make friends is definitely
a sign you are doing well in life, even if you don’t think so.
