Gratitude should be our attitude

Every ray of the Sun adds new hope to our lives and gives us the reason to live. We always try to collect something remarkable, so that the recollection of the gone by years leave permanent impressions on our minds, in the form of good memories. We store these in the closets of our hearts and minds, so that when we open these and find the same full of gratitude for the people and moments that have come to our lives. 

‘’Thank you for the day and night, for rainy spells and summer light,
 Thank you for the skies of blue and puffy clouds in the greyish hue,
Thank you for the giggle fests and midnight’s cloak to hasten rest.
Thank you for tomorrow new and yesterday’s tomorrow too.
Thank you for ‘’I am glad we met ‘’ and also’’ for we haven’t met yet’’
Thank you for the peace of mind and a grateful soul doth always find.’’

Richelle E. Goodrich

When we fill our lives with gratitude, we start feeling satisfied and rich with that we already have in our lives. Since our birth Almighty has showered on us various blessings, that we ignore, forget and do not want to acknowledge. We are breathing and wasting these without doing good to any creature. Our lives pass though many ups and downs and experience many hues. As we grow, we face many challenges, that make us stronger. Many times, we feel that we are trapped in the circumstances, but our positivity and gratuitous attitude towards life bring us out of the worst situations. We become better human beings with more patience and acceptance.  ‘’BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I AM WHAT I AM ‘’. 1 CORINTHIANS 15: 18(The holy Bible)

Whatever we do in our life, we do for our own benefits, we walk so selfishly on the walks of this life, that we do not realize at all how we have treated life. The journey of breaths that we have started with the grace of the Creator, is full of uncertainty but at the same time full of those moments that we adored and lived most. When we plan to do something and that plan fails, the plan of Almighty works, we must be thankful for that because that is the best one. ‘’PEOPLE CAN MAKE A LOT OF PLANS, BUT ONLY GOD’S PLAN PREVAIL.’’ PROVERBS 19: 21(The holy Bible)

While going through this journey called life, since the very first day of our arrival on this earth, we have been collecting the moments of happiness, pleasure, sadness, love etc. in the form of various experiences, that we get from our family, friends, well-wishers and the persons who helped us in different ways. The day when we were unaware of this world. our parents ‘eyes were full of gratitude towards the Creator, as they felt their child was the best creation of the Almighty. Most of us remain thankless to our parents as we never realize or do the same very late in our lives that we are here because of them. The generation gap is always there, today’s parents are trying to bridge that with their various efforts, becoming less rigid, more flexible and forgivable. Everyone must be thankful what s\he have, no one is complete in this world, families are also not complete, there are persons who do not have parents or one of the parents, there are others who do not have children.

‘’BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, REJOICE IN THE WAY THE THINGS ARE.
WHEN YOU REALIZE THERE IS NOTHING LACKING, THE WHOLE WORLD BELONGS TO YOU.’’
LAO TZU

‘’Gratitude is the art of receiving gracefully, of showing appreciation for every kindness, great or small. Most of us do not fail to show our pleasure when we receive hospitality, gifts and obvious benefits, but even here we can perfect our manner of showing gratitude by making it personal and sincere as possible.’’ said A.J. Cronin in his work, ‘The gratitude we need’.

When we look around, we realize that it was really a tough time during COVID-19.  The year 2020 showed many ups and downs around the world, as it was full of uncertainty and the situations were unpredictable, but it taught us many lessons. The fear of Pandemic has made us wiser, tougher, vigilant, conscious, observant, connected, knowledgeable, valuable and gratuitous.  The year gone by made us to learn that it’s very important to be thankful to everything that we own or not and everyone whosoever is the part of our life.

 Make a list of things and persons to whom we are thankful.

I have a long list, I am sure you also have the same, you people make your own don’t leave even a single thing or a single person who has influenced your life in any manner. Let’s do it together. The most common things and persons for whom we are thankful are:

1. Thanks to the Almighty, who has given us everything.
2. Thanks to our parents who have given us the birth.
3. Thanks to the Creator who has given us healthy bodies, sound minds, wisdom and knowledge to understand and distinguish between good or bad, negative or positive.
4. Thanks to our grandparents, of both the sides, paternal as well as maternal who taught us the basic things about life.
5. Thanks to our siblings, with whom we have played during our childhood and learn to live with love and affection.
6. Thanks to our spouses who always stand with us in all our ups and downs.
7. Thanks to our children, who always made us feel special and super humans.
8. Thanks to our friends, from whom we have learnt and shared a lot of good and bad moments of our lives.
9. Thanks to all those persons who have come to our lives, assisted, helped or worked with us.
10. We must be thankful to all those who influenced our lives in one or the other way.

If we start making the list of the things or persons, or the moments about which we are thankful, on the regular basis, say before going to bed, the list will become unending. The gratitude is the way to attract more in life. When we are thankful for what we have in our lives from the bottom of our heart, we stay tuned with that forever.

‘’GRATITUDE IS ABSOLUTELY THE WAY TO BRING MORE INTO YOUR LIFE.’’ Marci Shimoff.

JOHN.F. KENNEDY said, ‘’As we express more gratitude, we never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.’’

With very humble words, we bid adieu to the negativity from our lives and thankful for being safe and alive.

Welcome the NEW YEAR 2021 with new hope, happiness, prosperity, love and enthusiasm.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU.

STAY SAFE STAY BLESSED.
