If anyone had a challenge in life it was Helen Keller, who was both deaf and blind. She is an example of someone who overcame insurmountable odds to make a difference. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be to not see or hear? And you thought you had problems, right?

Yet, if she could make it, then dare I say, anyone can. We are all blessed with so many gifts. Most importantly, we’re alive! Yes, we have the gift of life — just wake up and look around you. There is so much beauty in the world — even a crummy old building may have beautiful architecture. There’s something very positive about everything that surrounds you.

The world is filled with blessings. We need only to open our eyes and realize it. When you see people who have had so many difficulties, who are in pain or who have nothing to eat, we realize how much we truly have. Your assignment today is to open your eyes and think about one thing you have that you are eternally grateful for.
