Many people in this world didn't grow up with a gold spoon in their mouths or in fact anything gold, or maybe not even anything of much value, or what the world deems to be valuable. Many people do however grow to acquire these things. Through hard work, dedication, and patients. Through the blood, sweat, and tears. Looking back they often remember who they once were, what they once had, what they once wanted and couldn't get. The word blessed isn't really an easy word to define, but in this context, it could mean, thankful, or grateful are they who remember, and as a result, continue to gain. Some people just merely long for a meal to eat or a place to lay their heads, while others long for riches and wealth. Both individuals must endure, to gain. However, in the end, if they remember what they once had, they are blessed. It's as if these individuals have a sense of gratitude, they've become humbled by their experiences, and as a result, they have what they now have today. If one is cocky and affirms that all they have today is by their own doing, and they forget where they came from and who they once were can they really be considered blessed?
