When visiting a four-star hotel, you will discover two groups of people.

There is one who is unhappy because they wanted a five-star hotel. They are used to staying in luxury, and because of a situation beyond their control, they must accept something less. They will complain and find fault because nothing is good enough for them. They feel like they deserve better.

The other group is thrilled because they usually stay in a three-star or less hotel. They view everything they are experiencing as a luxury that they normally do not enjoy. They will be happy and find joy in everything because it is far better than they deserve.

Same hotel. Two completely different perspectives.

How has the Lord blessed you in this life? You have a choice. You can be unhappy and frustrated, or you can be happy and grateful.

When I find thankful people filled with joy, it is usually not because they have something better than others. It is that they have chosen a different perspective.
