Advantages

It can be hard for us to focus on what we have. I know you’ve probably heard or read that you’ve got privileges that are specific to where you live, what era you live in, your socioeconomic status, etc.

I know that I’ve already written about this, but it’s not something that’s easy to remember. I’m writing this to remind myself, too. It’s not easy for us to think about our advantages. We instinctively look for what we don’t have, ignoring what we do possess.

We may not be rich or famous, but do we really want that? Imagine the pressure you’d constantly be under, charities hounding you for donations, never sure if the people who are your friends are only sticking around because of your money?
