Most people don’t really see the world they live in. They rely on their five senses to determine how they feel about an object, place, or person.
Meditation can be a very powerful tool for self-improvement. It can help you to see the world with fresh eyes and break through the barriers that prevent you from reaching your true potential. One of the most powerful exercises in meditation is to visualize all of the things in your life that you are grateful for. This exercise can bring clarity to your life and make it easier for you to achieve your goals. Visualize everything in your life that makes you happy: from your favourite food to your pets and friends to even just the fact that you have a roof over your head. Give each item the concentration it deserves, and consider things often taken for granted about this item, like how much water is available when you turn on the tap or how much electricity there is during storms or blackouts.
Ever since I was a young adult, I’ve been trying to figure out how to be happy. I’ve tried lots of things: meditation, yoga, exercise, dieting—you name it. None of them worked for me. And then one day I realized that all the things that made me happy were actually just things that made me feel like my life was meaningful and full of purpose.

This got me thinking about all the things in my life that make me feel like this: the fact that there’s food on the table when I get home from work; the fact that there’s water when I turn on the tap; and even just having a roof over my head at night so I don’t have to worry about getting wet if it rains while we’re sleeping.
When we think about our possessions, we often consider only their utility value—but there’s so much more depth to what they mean to us than just “usefulness.” When you meditate on your possessions every day like this, you can tune into what they mean to you on an emotional level—and this will help enrich your relationship with them even further.
