Life is A Gift.

  • Before u complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
  • Before u complain about your spouse – Think of someone who’s crying out for a companion.
  • Before u complain about life – Think of someone who went too early to heaven/hell.
  • Before u complain about your children – Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
  • Before u argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep – Think of the people who are living in the streets.
  • Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone who walks the same distance.
  • And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
  • Before u think of pointing the finger or condemning another – Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
  • And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on your face and thank — you’re alive and still around


Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And Fulfill it.
