"Are you in the habit of looking at what you are not and what you don't have, or have you trained yourself to see who you are, what you can do, and the resources you currently have available?" Joyce asks in Eat the Cookie, Buy the Shoe.
At times I have gotten jealous of a friend that is skinnier or a famous actor who is uber wealthy. Sometimes, it can be hard not to want to have those things. They have a beautiful figure or things that I would also like to have. It's easy to forget everything that I do have. Joyce is reminding us to be thankful and celebrate who we are and what we have right now. I may want a nicer apartment downtown or fancier clothes but I already do have a nice apartment and nice clothes. I can always have better but it's not like I'm living in the dumps of wearing sloppy clothing. I'm also not a size 10 but a size 2. I should be happy with that and celebrate. It's like there is this other devilish side that is making us look at who we are not and what we don't have. I have a lot to be thankful for. What about you?
