The sooner you realize your blessings aren't the result of how good, smart, strategic, or hard-working you are, the richer your life becomes. It's counterintuitive in a world that celebrates hustle and self-made success, but the most meaningful gifts in your life cannot always be earned. I'm not suggesting they won't require hard work, but even then, there is so much outside of your control. Acknowledge them as the blessing they are, not rewards for your effort. This attitude of gratitude can reframe everything and free you from proving your worth.
