Gratitude - Be Thankful!
But what the old gentleman replied has set my thoughts into spiral. He said to me, 'GREAT!! Got work means got money!"
His reply had given me a wake up call!! Why am I unhappy and dread going to work when there are millions out there who can't even find a job?? I have forgotten the most important value in life, and that is,
Instead of being thankful for what I have already having, an understanding and caring girlfriend, parents who loved me more than themselves, stable job with appreciative boss and surrounded with loyal and true friends, I started to focus on the negative things.
I hear complains everyday from friends and colleagues on all sort of things. But if we sit down and think it through, there are many things that we can be thankful and happy about. We can focus on the good things, because it makes us feel good!
It is easy to get lost in our day to day routine, and I hope that after you read this article, think of one person that makes you feel happy and thankful, be it your kids, parents, spouse or even a friend. Tell that person, right from the bottom of your heart, that you are thankful to have him or her in your life. Try it.. You will be glad you do it when you see their reaction! *wink*
