Paul Polman Quotes

My worst day is still a really good day. I complain, but I catch myself and count my blessings. I am truly blessed.

Look for the blessing in all situations.

Most of us never stop to consider our blessings; rather, we spend the day only thinking about our problems. But since you have to be alive to have problems, be grateful for the opportunity to have them.

Everyone can be discontented if he ignores his blessings and looks only at his burdens.

Oh what a happy soul am I although I cannot see, I am resolved that in this world contented I shall be. How many blessings I enjoy that other people don't. To weep and sigh, because I'm blind? I cannot and I won't.

Let me tell you that every misery I miss is a new blessing.

Counting blessings is better than recounting problems

We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.

I try to count the blessings rather than the problems.

Sometimes we forget to be grateful until we survive a trauma. For example, after having the flu when you ache all over, throw up for hours, and have little people pounding in your head with hammers, it is sheer bliss just to eat a piece of toast, walk outside without getting dizzy, and breathe fresh air. Part of the journey toward joy involves not waiting around for trouble, but being continuously aware of our blessings.

Gratitude is looking on the brighter side of the life, even if it means hurting your eyes.

In a world that contains tragedies, we must realize that they’re vastly outnumbered by blessings

Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

When we determine to dwell on the good and excellent things in life, we will be so full of those things that they will tend to swallow our problems.

When my body gets to the point where I can no longer function or feel gratitude, then I'll leave it and become grateful again. But until then, I will appreciate what I have and not whine about what I don't have. I will feel blessed by life and the opportunity to help others see that they are blessed, too.

There are no plans that always work in life. For me, the secret to happiness is being positive and looking at the brighter side of my life.

I like my life. I've had a good life. I think the reason is my parents taught me that life is a burden. But if you take it one day at a time, it's an easy burden.

Don't feel sorry for me. I've had a great life, great friends.

Look at my life. I ain't got nothing to be mad about.

The more time goes by, the more things will happen to you in your life. And the ability to be positive throughout and look for the good in people, look for the good in situations - it's so important.

Basically, I look at every day as a blessing and a new opportunity.

I always say just stay positive. If you ever get down on yourself, try to find something that takes away that negative. Always find that positive area.

...I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life!

I am so far from being a pessimist...on the contrary, in spite of my scars, I am tickled to death at life.

God blessed me with a lot of heart and no height, and I'll take that any day.
