Counting My Blessings One By One: Fulfilling Life In Progress [LOH 205]

I think this prompt topic came just right in time for me, I'm so glad to have checked it out around the time I was finding difficulty to write something for my blog. Reading through the prompt, I couldn't help but feel like I've been taking things for granted way too much since recently.

I lost three people I know both closely and far distanced, in the past week and it was so heartbreaking to think that their lives on earth have come to an end. I also wondered if they could say their lives were fulfilling even though it was cut short, that would be rare right?

When I see someone in tears and I have something to be happy about in that same moment, I feel fulfilled.

When I hear bad news of people who met their death while going about normal daily activities? I feel fulfilled.

Yeah, I say being fulfilled means being happy even when everything isn't perfect yet. Can everything be perfect? Would everything be good when I have all the money I think I need now? The honest answer is clear and that is a big No! because I'll still want more when I achieve that.

The simple fact that I am healthy with no pain to deal with at one time, I feel fulfilled and grateful to God Almighty for making that possible for me. It doesn't mean there are not times I fall very sick or feel lots of pains, I survived them and that is what matters to me.

So to the question... Do you have the life you want to have? What are you still missing?

I'll be telling a lie if I say there's nothing missing for my life to be more fulfilled but I'm telling no lie when I say, I can wait for my own time while I appreciate the things I have already (basic necessities).

While I have a great family, I am missing the means to provide the comfortable life I wish for all them. I'm not complaining about not having it now because I know it is a greater blessing to have a family at the very least.

While I have a healthy and fine body, I want to build more values on my body to be one of the best humans to mankind and to God. Striving to be the better version of myself can tempt me to think I have a lot missing in my life but I know deep down I'm wrong when I think that.

While I have a roof over my head and good meals at least once daily, I feel like I am missing out on the possibility that I do not have to worry about this at all before they come to me. Well, I am grateful that I'm not living on the streets like some I've seen and wished I could help.

Life can not always go our way and so I think I'll conclude by saying I have the life that I want because if it isn't mine, it isn't anyone else's own. I have live up my decisions in the past and keeping living showing gratitude for what I have and what I'll have in the future.

It's a popular saying and I'll love to remind myself... "When there is life, there is hope". So yeah, I'm a fulfilling life in good progress.
