8 Reasons Why Today Will Be an Awesome Day

If you're reading this, then

1. You actually woke up this morning with a heartbeat; 150,000 people never will again.
2. You have clean water to make a cup of coffee or tea, and a toilet to flush; nearly a billion people don't.
3. You can actually read this; nearly a billion people can't--whatever the language.
4. You have access to the internet; 70 percent of humanity does not.
5. You can get health care; nearly a billion people have no access to any health care.
6. As a Nurture Growth reader, you likely earn more than RM40,000 a year, putting you in the top 1 percent of earners globally. By the way, 2.2 billion live on less than USD2 per day. To be in the top 1 percent of the wealthiest people on the planet, you need USD500,000 or more in total assets. If you're not there yet, I have no doubt you will be.
7. As a Nurture Growth reader, you likely have a college education; welcome to a slice of humanity that represents less than 7 percent of humanity.
8. You have, if you've read this far, the opportunity and the luxury to take time out of your day to participate in social media, a purely recreational activity that is meant primarily to share your good fortune, your abundance, and your last meal of coconut curried chicken with a few thousand friends.

And that's why, whatever else you've got going on, for you this is an awesome day. So don't waste it, because the vast majority of your fellow humans would trade places with you in a heartbeat.
