Power In Thankfulness

I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet – Helen Keller

We often take life, people, and things we have for granted. And for years we have lived knowing that all we have is due to our hard work. But when things go wrong or stop working that’s when we realise that we should have appreciated and be grateful for what we have, either little or more.

Being thankful in life is very important. In fact, we all have reasons to be thankful to God and people. For instance, you can be thankful for health, food, clothes, parents, friends, neighbours, shelter, business, and many others.

 The truth is that you need to be thankful in every situation. I know some situations in life have nothing good to be thankful about but just do it anyway.

Being thankful in life has a powerful impact on our lives and those of others. Below are some of them;

• Evokes joy, happiness, and fulfilment – being thankful in life opens the doors to happiness, joy, and fulfilment both to the recipient and the giver.so, if you are unhappy now then it simply means you are not appreciating or grateful in life. Also, if you are grateful then it will result in you being satisfied with what you have at that moment.  
• Stop complaining – being thankful will close the door to be a complainant in life. 
• Help the needy – being grateful will enable you to have a different perspective about life, thus treasure and appreciate every step of life. You will develop the urge to help those who are unfortunate in society. 

 Remember, to develop a grateful attitude and it will result to change in your life. Make it your daily routine to thank someone, may it be your husband, wife, boss, clients, neighbour, friend, and others. This will add power to your life and open blessings.

 Always be thankful.

So, who are you going to appreciate today?
