If I’m not grateful for what I have now... why would I be grateful if I got more?

Imagine if one of the keys to feeling good and experience joy is to feel grateful every day. Real genuine gratitude for what I actually have and not a false facade behind a fake smile.
Personally, I am grateful for things like that I can see, hear and that I can run. Right now I might not be able to run as far as I would like, but I can run. The wonderful feeling of your heart pumping in your chest as the wind is blowing in the trees and the fact that I’m out in the woods.
It is so easy to take what I actually have for granted, and can stare myself blind on what is seemingly out of reach at the moment. Even if it right now may feel like it will always be out of reach, I know that everything is subject to constant change. That thing, maybe even before I know it, will change - so it turns out exactly like I always wanted it to be.
Maybe the trick is to seize the moment and feeling grateful right now for what I do have and enjoy life in this moment instead of dejectedly waiting for things to change.
What is something that is currently irking you? Is there something that seems to be out of reach and you think is preventing you from feeling joy and gratitude? If so, I suggest you ask yourself the same question I pose to myself: “If I’m not grateful for what I have now... why would I be grateful if I got more?”
Good luck!

7 年I think it is about decision making. I want to do the "right" thing, and if I have an idea of what is right and what I want in the long term, then I think it is only to follow the often narrow path to the forward moving goal. Sometimes it is a fixed goal. I know what I want, and it makes me relaxed and I can keep focusing on the taget.
