I've realised that life is created in such a way that what is meant to be mine, will be mine. As long as I take care of the little that has been entrusted to me, more will come my way.
Truth is that greed or constant feelings of dissatisfaction can rob one from seeing all the great blessings that they have.
As Mahatma Gandhi once said: "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.”
Life itself is a blessing and the fact that you are alive means there is an opportunity for better things to come your way.
