Be Thankful

#stervosharing #bethankful - Best Day!! It's TGIF!! Another week just went passed ... And today we have an awesome quote to Reflect upon before we cross over the weekend to Celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year... :)
Let me ask a simple question - How many of us are truthfully thankful for each brand new day when we wake up and as we opened our eyes every morning? Very few. Most of the time , we wake up either Tired, Stressed from lots of thoughts in our mind which we did not download to enjoy rest. Yet, when we are fresh after a good morning shower, we are awake and suddenly very vocal and casual in "GIVING THANKS" to many things that is working to our own personal benefits or advantage - very contradictory yah...., :p My personal observation - is this really worth giving thanks to or are we just giving excuses to our selfish behaviour under the guise of our Creator as we go about our daily activities??
Having mentioned the above category of people, I do believe and encounter another group of individuals who had been through challenges in their daily lives.. Yet despite their major challenges in life, they kept their Positive Mindset, Personal Initiatives to solve and work things around - facing the obstacles and overcoming it, Confidence and Courage - to learn how to manage challenges in their lives , Self Discipline on themselves so that they can continue to stay positive, Self Determined - to ensure they walk through the transformation or 'Baptism of Fire' , Focused - having the End in Mind in their Purpose and Direction in life..., these traits/attributes/values are what we must be thankful for every single day as we appreciate the good and bad in life..,..
In short, Do Not be Thankful just for the good , bad or ugly situations that is in front of us - they are there to let us learn much more about Who We Are..... :). Be Thankful for two things in life - 1) We are ALIVE today , breathing and living our life - as we Open our eyes every morning means we are given another opportunity by Creator to make our lives better TODAY. 2) Be Thankful that we have our Sub -consciousness to Learn more about ourselves Today as we go through life. Understanding more of who we are, so that we can become a Better Man..... :) Be Thankful for the Right Purpose in life...... :)
