If we as humans would develop an attitude of being grateful, for all the good things in our life, we would be a much happier society. It is easier for us to complain all the time when something goes wrong. Why not be grateful for all the good that we are experiencing each day?

We should start our day expressing thankfulness for the air we breathe, being able to live one more day, for our families and the jobs we have. Many of us have a home to live in and food on our tables. Maybe we do not have the biggest house or the fanciest car but does that really matter in the scheme of things? – being contented at the place we are in our lives is directly related to the gratitude we feel. I am not saying that it is bad to want nice things but the problem occurs when things have us.

Gratitude not only gives us a feeling of peace but it does wonders to our physical bodies. We feel energised and free from stress by not allowing minute situations to disturb us. We are able to spend our moments enjoying life rather than focusing on the negatives.

I dare you today to develop that attitude of being grateful and experience that peace of mind and joy that comes from being thankful. Be blessed.
