Be grateful for what you have now

I’ve been wanting to be further along by now. Life looks different than I thought it would.
I’m longing for things, eg to have a team again.

Yet this morning I’ve realized that I need to be grateful for what I have now.
For one day, I’ll look back and miss the very things I took for granted.

A younger me wished for and worked towards what I have now.
Others are longing for what I have right now.

It’s so easy to overlook the good that is right in front of our eyes when we’re focused on the future, on what is not yet here.

I trust that the things that I long for will arrive when it’s time. And just because the present looks different from what I thought it would, it doesn’t mean it’s not good.
In fact, it’s fucking amazing, once I slow down to really see it and appreciate it.

For now, I’m grateful for:

• all the freedom I have,
• the time to explore,
• having very little responsibility
• the somewhat stable income
• delicious home-cooked food and shared meals
• the loving relationship where I can develop my potential and we can grow together

So much abundance right in front of my eyes.

What are you grateful for?
