Oprah Winfrey gave this quote. I never read any of her stuff but I learned about all of the hardships that she had to go through while growing and have been told that reading her biography gave inspiration to many people.
It is true that if you are thankful for what is in your life you will realize how much you really have and how lucky you are to have it. Especially when you think of how many people do not have what you have. If you are always trying to keep up with the Jones and concentrate on what you don’t have you will never achieve peace and feel abundant in your life. Life will not be satisfying and you will feel empty inside.
