Blessed people are not only those who get every thing they wish for. Achieve whatever they strive for and perform what ever they set out for. Yes in all probability such people could be very happy. But I think there are also people who do not get every thing they wish for; only some of them. They do not achieve every thing strived but only a few. They might have performed only one or two out of the many they had set out to.
The people who only get successes in life miss out on a very important part of life. This life is meant to experience widest spectrum of emotions and feelings. Experience pains and pleasures, both. The challenges and struggles are like the proverbial fire going through which the gold of a personality shines brighter. The failures motivate, egg on people to strive harder. And in turn the fruits of success when it does come after struggles, are sweeter.
From this perspective I consider my self blessed. I have had best of circumstances and very difficult ones too. Not so difficult that they could break me but bad enough to make the ideas of ending it all as an extremely attractive one.
