AFFIRMATION

There's this song by Savage Garden entitled "Affirmation", heard this song only 2 weeks ago when on one of our out of town trips, a very close friend of mine sang this song while telling me that the lyrics of same is something to think about...so I did research on it and found out that this song is philosophising about the inequalities of the world from a liberal minded perspective...it is really quite something coz each line starts with "I BELIEVE..."

At times when I am missing my family so much, when loneliness and anxiety of the future overwhelms me, I think of this song and I feel good again coz I believe, each one of us has a role to fulfill in this planet...by God's grace, we can be something in HIS eyes when we just focus our hearts to doing whats good!!

When Im sad and lonely I just have to recite my AFFIRMATION, and I start this with saying: "I'm THANKFUL"

1. I'm thankful that I'm away from home, it makes me independent and strong.
2. I'm thankful that I'm single, it means I'm available...
3. I'm thankful that my son doesnt stay with me everyday, it means he loves his father as much as he loves me.
4. I'm thankful I dont have computer at home now, it means I have more time to commune with myself.
5. I'm thankful that some of my friends betray me, it tests how loyal I am to them.
6. I'm thankful that I run out of money at times, it means I should learn to spend wisely.
7. I'm thankful that I lost my father at age 26, right age to understand death and welcome it.
8. I'm thankful that only few people sees me and feels me, a lot more would confuse me.
9. I'm thankful that I get lonely at times, it means I'm capable of missing someone.
10. I'm thankful that LIFE is hard, it means I'm living IT!!!

So many ways to be grateful, so many ways to live life,so many ways to write it...but one thing is sure...my AFFIRMATION is strengthened because I have a thankful heart!!! Have a great day all!!
