How the other half live...?

How the other half live? A concept that someone is better off than you. That they are better than you, often in some sort of materialistic way. In reality this is such a negative state of mind. It is dangerous because it will only ever breed self contempt. Nothing can ever be gained by holding yourself in contempt. 


Don’t get me wrong, being inspired by the success of others is good. It proves that it is possible to get what you work hard for. 


However, instead of thinking about how little you have, or what others have that you may not, instead think about what you do have. Realise how lucky you are to have everything and everyone in your life. Be thankful because if you take time to take stock, whilst you may not have all the things you wish for, you just might find you have more than you thought. More than you give credit for on a daily basis, and so much more than many others have. 


Ultimately, whether you see it or not, you are the ‘how the other half live’ to someone somewhere. Be humble in all you do and beware of people who brag about who they are; a lion will never have to tell you he’s a lion. 


When you sigh at the thought of not having something or something not going your way, remember that someone else is sighing their last breath. 


How the other half live...? Be the other half for yourself because you already have all you need. Be content and always inspire those around you to be the same. 


Be thankful...
