In a powerful post titled Give Me Gratitude or Give Me Debt, NY Times best selling author, Glennon Doyle Melton talks about what is important in life and the all important role perspective plays in how we look at things around us.
After posting a picture of herself in her kitchen, people started to message her to help her out with the dated look of her kitchen. First she agreed and thought that maybe her kitchen was dated.
But then, reality hit her:
I don’t need new things, I need new eyes with which to see the things I already have
She goes on to explain why. Her post is funny, honest and truthful. And she ends with the best happy family snap that you could ever find.
Her post also reminded me of this answer by Jennifer Dowdy to why people are content with 9-5 jobs. Both answers are very similar and touch on the same ideas.
