Underrated Blessings
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;"><strong>Have you ever stopped to wonder about those times when life felt overwhelming and almost unbearable; when every door seemed shut and it felt as though nothing was working out at and then, before you knew it, one way or another, you overcame them?</strong></span></p><p>Looking back to 2025, I realized I've had my share of these moments. Times when nothing seemed to work out, when circumstances went completely haywire, and the world felt upside down. There were days I genuinely felt like life wasn’t worth living. Yet somehow, in the end, there was always a turnaround.</p><p>I can’t explain exactly how it happened, nor can I specifically say, “this is how I got out of it” or “this is the secret to thrive.” Sometimes it happened when I stopped paying attention. Other times, it came when I had grown tired of anticipating. Quietly and swiftly — like the wind; the change came unnoticed.</p><p>There were days when the challenges I faced were not minor ones, but the kind that pushed me to the point of giving up. Despite all these odds, everything eventually fell into its rightful place. Going through these trials and turbulent times and coming out unscarred, unbroken, and not stripped of purpose was a blessing;  a miracle in disguise.</p><p>The truth is, we often forget these moments and move on with life as if they meant nothing. I’m not saying one should sit all day thinking about the past, but these moments shouldn’t go unrecorded either. Expressing gratitude helps us recognize God;  not just for survival, but for life itself and our reason for living.</p><p>Your experiences might be different. You might not have faced difficult challenges. Instead, you might have received unmerited favor in circles you never imagined, or had things work out for you with little or no stress. All of these moments deserve recognition and shouldn’t go unappreciated.</p><p>You don’t have to wait until something massive happens before becoming grateful. All it takes is to pause and recount your blessings. In doing so, you’ll see more reasons to be grateful, and you'll see how far you’ve come. <em>Count your blessings, record your wins, and track your achievements no matter how small they seem.</em> When you do, you’ll see that they outweigh your losses.</p><p>Underrated blessings aren’t the ones that arrive when you anticipate them. Instead, they come unnoticed and subtle in action. They don’t arrive in a grand way, nor do they announce their presence, yet their impact lasts far longer than we realize. Underrated blessings are those quiet things we experienced daily but fail to recognize, let alone appreciate. They may not look grand, or come in a loud way yet they carry deep value even the ones that kept our lives going.</p>

A quiet note to myself: written in reflection of 2025 — a year that didn’t break me, even when it tried. Remember this when gratitude feels hard.
