Be thankful for what you have!

Life gives everyone a chance to survive and grow and whatever you may be going through in life currently but there is always a reason to stay thankful to everything. To be thankful is a feeling of gratitude that everyone needs to develop in your mind always. If you are happy and in a brightest phase of life it will remind to stay grounded. If you are in a not so good phase of life , it will still remind you that there are still certain things around you and not all is lost and to stay hopeful .

Currently, most of us are going through Covid -19 epidemic world wide and what you could call a not so good phase of life but still we believe that the things are going to better in future and we are thankful that we are surviving this testing phase happily. Firstly I am thankful to the superpower above for this life that I have been given. My parents who have been my strong support and were healthy till they passed away recently at late eighties.

The willpower that I have been blessed with which has helped me see through certain not so good phases of life and has never made me fall into depression or any damn addictive habits. I have the energy and enthusiasm to keep going towards the goal I want to achieve in life despite all pitfalls/rejections and what not I had to go through. The ability to learn and grasp things faster which doesn't allow me to put too much of an effort if I am learning something new everyday as a lifelong learner.

Few handful of select loyal friends and cousins who have stood by me throughout my good and bad times apart from my parents. My vehicle that helps me travel anywhere without depending on anyone and I am thankful that I am breathing every second of my life till this very moment positively and trying to help spreading message of positivity and optimism.

For my very spiritual existence that I look out to the world in a more positive manner, that I am conscious about every other living thing around and I am thankful to god for my pretty good health throughout my life. From time to time, I have a profound sense of gratitude for these simple things. This sense came upon me just a few days ago that there is no amount of gratitude or thanks that equals the gift of humanity that I am serving the people to the best possible way.

 I have always had a lot of friends since I did not have a sibling at home. I used to spend a lot of time with my neighbour's children. Some of them became very close to me and I helped them but sometimes got nothing in return. I'm grateful to most of my earlier friends who gave me realisation, that our parents are your best friends and none of the others are so trust worthy. We all are just here to butter you up when we need some benefits from you but we all backbite every time.

I'm grateful to God for giving me a life with such lively parents who never treated me as a failure because I was never a topper in the class. But there are so many persons who helped me to be what I am now. I am grateful to all those teachers, gurus, mentors and of course those circumstances which pushed me from behind to a swimming pool of difficulties which eventually helped me to learn how to swim and overcome those challenges on my own with their guidance.

Last but not the least I am grateful to the Mother Nature, The amazing nature which binds me with her beauty in the form of greenery of forest, rain, winter, smell of earth when rain touches it for the first time, the mountains, snow, sky, the restless sea, flora, fauna, the setting sun, reflection of moon on a river, the music of the roaring waves and the silence of the night. I am thankful to her for pacifying my anger and accepting me the way I am. I am thankful to her for providing me shade during my tough times and feeding me with her delicious fruits and vegetables and all the goodies I enjoy. I feel I am blessed. #kishoreshintre
