Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Life is not fair. There are no guarantees with anything.
If you are not lucky, chances are you will be miserable.
If you are not wealthy, chances are you will spend your life trying to make money.
If you are not connected, chances are you will never get your “big break” and your talent will die with you.
If you are not a thankful person by nature, chances are you have a disease. You are most likely bound up with resentment, perhaps even bitterness. This root will wrap itself around you and choke every ounce of life from you.
If you spend your time comparing yourself to someone else, you are certain to be disappointed. You will drive pass your blessings.
If you can stop defining success and start identifying the good things in your life, you can get a good grasp on reality. Things can always be worse. A lack of gratitude will get you there fast.
Slow down.
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
