As I was walking into my apartment this afternoon I was thinking about a quote that I came across the other day on Pinterest.

I know money doesn’t fix all problems, but it sure would fix my money problem.

That quote was the beginning of my afternoon thought cycle. I allowed my mind to drift into “if only” thoughts… and soon gratitude seemed to disappear from my life.

I…

Had more money…THEN

Had my 3,000 LPC-Intern hours…THEN

Would have done that…THEN

Hadn’t of done that…THEN

Do you ever get caught in this thought cycle as well? If so, remember this:

This moment is all there is.

-Rumi

Right. Now.

This. Is. All. There. Is.

Gratitude never truly disappeared from my life. My perspective told me that gratitude disappeared.

Perspective is reality. What is your perspective telling you?

Be Fervently Driven
