Living Like Royalty

"They are not poor that have little, but they that desire much. The richest man, whatever his lot, is the one who’s content with his lot."

—Dutch proverb

Do you live like royalty?  You may not realize it, but you really do!  It's all a matter of perspective.  To people living in depressed conditions, we live a life fit for kings and queens.  We are blessed with abundance.  Abundance comes from the Lord above and the good news is there is no short supply.

Still don’t believe you live like royalty - then ask a starving child  what they had to eat yesterday; ask a homeless man to show you where he slept last night; ask a little girl why her clothes are tattered and torn and what happened to her shoes; ask an impoverished woman why she risks criminal behavior when she’s stealing food to feed her family.  All will tell you that you live a royal life compared to them.   

If you appreciate what you have in life, you will always have enough.  However, when you focus on what you don't have, you constantly search for more and more.  The problem is the searching will never end until you finally learn to appreciate what you have.  To help you – each morning when you arise try reciting, “The secret to having it all is knowing you already do!”

So you do live like royalty.  You may not be sporting a crown or tiara, but don't be fooled, you really do enjoy the comforts of life; comforts that all too often are taken for granted. 

All hail to the king/queen!  Remember, it comes down to a matter of perspective!

It's Your Life: Live it, Love it, Celebrate it!
