Show Gratitude At All?Times

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed when friends and family have to call you to ask for help? You could look at this in two perspectives. In one perspective, be angry that your family and friends all call to ask for help from you. And two, be grateful that at least you are the one they are asking from, and not the other way round. Do you understand that value there is that people at least even consider you as an option when trying to solve their challenges? That is an opportunity to be grateful for because a lot of people out there would appreciate the opportunity to be the one helping and not the other way round.

No matter how you look at life, you can find a hundred reasons to be unhappy or ungrateful, but I am sure you can definitely find a thousand reasons to be happy and be grateful. If you imagine a thousand reasons to not be happy, I bet you would be able to find a million reasons to be grateful. As such, no matter how you look at everything around you, you still have to be very grateful.

And when you are grateful, you see life differently. And what is considered as a challenge to others might just be what you need to push you to where you need to be. Challenges might seem to last for a long time, but once you conquer them, they seem as if they never existed in the first place. Can you imagine the situation Tiger Woods is in right now, even after all the tragedies he had to face, right now, all that does not matter and what is clear is that he is more grateful for all the tragedies in his life because they have made him a completely different person.

Coming out of any challenge takes a lot of courage and perseverance, but the most important thing through the journey is gratitude. Appreciate every little thing that you are given, because so many people are not as fortunate as you are. When you pass by a beggar, give the little that you can and be grateful that you are at least not a beggar. No matter where you are, gratitude is important. When you are grateful with what you are given, more would come, God says. Being grateful does not mean not pushing forward for more, but it simply means acknowledging what you have being given rather than focusing on what you do not have.

So many people focus on what they do not have that what they have finally gets frustrated and leaves them. You can be a father now complaining of how to pay your children’s school fees. But understand that someone somewhere is looking for ways to even have a child, to even have loved ones. Some people even seek the responsibilities that you have. Imagine all of that. So no matter where you are or where you have been, your gratitude level is what you need to always watch out for. Keep pushing it forward and showing gratitude in all that you do.

We might never get all that it is that we want from this world, but one thing that we can always do is to be grateful no matter the outcome of any situation. Remember, someone elsewhere wants what you have. So appreciate and be grateful for what you have. If you still have your friends and family, be grateful for that, call and check up on them. If you still have a job, be grateful for the gift of a job.

Understand that more comes only to those who are grateful for what they currently have. You can indeed show gratitude at any point in your life. So go show it today. It matters that we are grateful at all times. Thanks and God Bless.
