LIFE
Gratitude!
On the 31st of December 2019, one of my best friends sent me an email and it said a lot of things but there was something that struck me, for the first time in my life I realized that I say thank you and sorry way much than required but, most importantly I have never thanked myself before or apologized for all the shit I brought it upon me. This hit me hard.
Since then I’ve been trying to be grateful for myself, I’ve always been grateful for parents, friends and sometimes even strangers.
So how has this worked out? Well, for starters I love myself more than I ever did.
I felt that gratitude overpowers other feelings. I might not like the person that I am today but hey at least I’m self-aware and I think I can do better. Unlike I don’t accept and say that I’m screwed for life!
We emphasize negative things over the positive, we are so smart to always point put what’s missing but we take the things we have in life for granted. Emphasizing negative things is all over the internet, the news and all it does it makes us feel bad for things which aren’t that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Stay away from such things or look at them from another perspective.
A little gratitude goes a long way to making our life suck a little less.
Gratitude makes way for happiness, the thankful you are for what you have it kinda makes you feel a bit light and happy, you enjoy it and love it.
Gratitude is more of a skill and needs to be practiced and once you get along with it, It becomes contagious, you suddenly start looking for the good in everything and thank full for it. It allows us to see what is actually occurring and recognizing what is freely given to us as an opportunity at each moment.
It doesn’t hurt to look at the bright side, the opposite does.
2020 is not how anyone of us imagined it would be but, I’m thankful to spend quality time with family and myself, I’m thankful that I made one new friend this year, I’m thankful for all the people in my life, I’m blessed. Remember it could be worse, it could always be worse.
My blogs are not doing good, I’m still waiting for the day when I hit 50 views, for now, I’m thankful for a few people who read and appreciate my blogs, it goes a long way. Thank you, you wonderful, beautiful people!
