1 " Sweetheart, happily ever after does exist, it’s just not what you think,” he said. “Happily ever after isn’t a solution to life’s problems or a guarantee that life will be easy; it’s a promise we make ourselves to always live our best lives, despite whatever circumstance comes our way. When we focus on joy in times of heartbreak, when we choose to laugh on the days it’s hard to smile, and when we count our blessings over our losses—that’s what a true happily ever after is all about. You don’t get there by being perfect; on the contrary, it’s our humanity that guides us. And that’s what fairy tales have been trying to teach us all along. "

2 " Sometimes we miss our blessings in life because they do not arrive the way we think they should. Because our minds are so shallow, so limited, we think our blessings have to come a certain way and sometimes we miss them walking up and down the street. Open your mind: get your blessing. "
― Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr.
3 " We can block our blessings with one thought, one decision. Sometimes your blessing may require certain actions on your behalf. You asked for the job? Now, you must get dressed and go to the interview and prove yourself worthy of the position. When you move, you activate your faith. And, suddenly everything falls into place. Faith without works is dead. "

4 " There is only one " now." Realize how rich you are in it. Right now you are creating history…your legacy. Make your time count. Do not wish your moments away. Do not ruin today by focusing on another time and place. If we counted our blessings more often, instead of our money, we would be a lot richer. Keep money on your mind but out of your heart. Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life for yourself. Cultivate your spiritual growth. The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money. "
5 " We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count. "
― Neal A. Maxwell
6 " If we all counted our blessings and then shared them with our neighbors, near and far, all our lives would be richer. "

7 " We must have a deep understanding of Who is the source of our blessings and to whom all the glory, praise and honor belong. "
8 " They tell us to count our blessings whilst they count the coffers "
― Dean Cavanagh
9 " Not what we say about our blessings but how we use them is the true measure of our thanksgiving. "
10 " I don't see why religion and science can't get along. What's wrong with counting our blessings with a computer? "
