I have a great life! So do you!

What a Great Life We Live! 

Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope you are having a magnificent day! Let’s breathe and smile.

A couple of days ago I saw the post on internet that said, and I quote, “… I’ve survived everything I’ve ever encounter in life. I have a 100% survival rate…” And I’ve heard it before from my coaches and mentors. Let’s talk about that for a minute.

My life has not been a completely smooth ride, from society’s point of view. I was doing pretty good, by conventional standards, until I was hit by life pretty strong. This is when you find out how good you really are. Or lucky, in my case. Perhaps, somebody was looking after me from above. But like in martial arts, you get knocked down, and you need to get back up. And now, looking back, I know I survived all of that, even though I got a couple of ugly scars in my heart.

I read the story in a book, I don’t remember exactly which one. The author was doing a motivational lecture, and a man from the audience asked a question: “Today it’s rainy and cold, how can you call it a nice day?”
“You’re right,” the speaker said. “So many people made their plans for today… but they never woke up. I did. That’s why it is a great day!”

As I’m looking at my life, up to this day when I am putting this episode online, I’ve had 17,337 great mornings and fantastic days. I’ve successfully lived through all of them. Not everyone I went to school with made it this far. That’s why I am thankful for today.

My friend, I believe you’re having a great day too. And if you don’t see anything great, go and do something great. And trust me, you will feel much better.

Thanks for stopping by.
