Do you find it hard to have a gratitude mindset? Life kicked you in the teeth one too many times? Overwhelmed? Feel undervalued? Here’s you a thought. There are 7.8 billion people on planet Earth according to a 2021 census.
At least 1 billion of those would give anything to be you. Think about that for a minute. 1 billion people would like to be you. WOW! You might be thinking; my life sucks. I’m in debt up to my eyeballs. Who in their right mind would want to be me?
1.5 billion people (nearly 20% of the global population) live with hearing loss
Nearly 70% Of World Population Lacks Religious Freedom
1 billion people includes those with moderate or severe distance vision impairment or blindness
World unemployment rate for 2021 was 6.18%
Around 2 billion people around the world do not have access to clean and safe drinking water, and approximately 3.6 billion people – 46% of the world’s population – lack adequate sanitation services
150 million people are homeless worldwide
16 million people aged 16 or over who are ‘single and have never cohabited or married’, equivalent to 34.5% of the adult population.
185,000 amputations occur in the United States each year
This list could go on for a long time.
Again I ask, who in their right mind would want to be me?
Stats came mostly from WHO.

I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet. I’m not sure who said it, but I read it as a child and have been grateful for whatever I’ve had since.
