"Count your blessings" = đếm phúc lành. Cụm từ này để nhắc nhở chúng ta khi có chuyện không may, đừng nên buồn phiền mà hãy nhớ đến những lúc may mắn để trân trọng những gì bạn có.

Ví dụ
“Mom, I want a new iPhone!” “No way! There are children in the world who don’t have enough to eat – count your blessings!

Be grateful. Count your blessings. It’s a cliché (lời nói rập khuôn), but there’s a lot of value in taking stock. In the days following the shootings, I found treasures that caught my eye each place I visited, and I heard a kind word from just about everyone I encountered. That probably was because I was open to it. I needed the good to happen, so it did.

Personal lives are messy, mental illness is a beast, and navigating either one is difficult enough for people who aren’t in the social media spotlight 24 hours a day. It’s humanity’s lot to spend some portion of our time—most of it, even—blundering around in a wilderness of pain, and it’s a blessing for most of us that our personal struggles don’t get boiled down to stories about the celebs being at it again for the supposed benefit of the general public. Count your blessing, then, because the celebs are indeed at it again.
