We Are So Fortunate

Note: I got this email from a friend of mine and I just had to share it. The numbers may or may not even come close but it reminded me of the blessings I have. May everyone’s problems in the world help motivate us towards improvement.


If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.

And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness… You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.

If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation … You are ahead of 700 million people in the world.

If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world.

If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm; you’re unique to all those in doubt and despair…….

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, have gratitude for this life, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
