To have blessings and to prize them is to be in heaven. To have them and not to prize them is to be in hell, I would say, upon earth. To prize them and not to have them is to be in hell. Which is evident by the effects. To prize blessings while we have them is to enjoy them, and the effect thereof is contentation, pleasure, thanksgiving, happiness. To prize them when they are gone, envy, covetousness, repining, ingratitude, vexation, misery. But it was no great mistake to say that to have blessings and not to prize them is to be in hell. For it maketh them ineffectual, as if they were absent. Yea, in some respect it is worse than to be in hell. It is more vicious, and more irrational.

Learn to appreciate all the ways we’ve been blessed and you’ll be in heaven.
