A cancer diagnosis isn’t something anyone wants to hear, but if you do ever hear it and you are fortunate enough to beat it you will forever compare anything that happens to you to the moment of hearing that news. You understand that a parking ticket, “Well, it ain’t cancer.”

As your teen develops their sense of self, they may look to superficial things to make them fabulous. This can range from getting better grades, doing better in sports, wearing the perfect clothes, getting the nose job or driving the ideal car. These things have little to do with who they are on the inside. Their character.

Oprah has said several times after having made so many people rich over the years, “Whatever your issues are, they will be magnified times 100 with money.” So money doesn’t take the issues away, it only magnifies it. Does it mean they shouldn’t want material things to be a little flashy or special? No,  but they should work on their sense of self from a more aware perspective. So that if the money comes for them to catch up with the Joneses, they’ll be more self aware about who they are and what the money can and can’t do for them.

This starts by counting blessing and not things.
