Be Thankful, Be Grateful

 

“Life is so unfair” said the man.

So, while returning from my college, I saw this man today and he was, for some reason, was lamenting and complaining about the struggles of his life.  He was unhappy and unsatisfied with his life. I felt bad for him; my heart goes out to him.

Also, a thought crossed my mind that, there are thousand things we take for granted in life, hoping that thousand more will come.  But we should never take life itself for granted. Every minute of every day is a blessing, is a gift and we should be thankful for all the things that we have been blessed with so far. Problems will always arise, some will appear insurmountable but nothing is as important as life itself.

We, humans, have a tendency to complain, to whine, to lament about the things that we don’t have, about relationships, about life. We never stop and think about those who have nothing. There are some hard-earners, who have to do everything in their power to have a meal to feed their families.

So, smile every day, show your loved ones that you love, appreciate the people, the things around you, respect nature and its beings, be thankful to those who are a part of your life, do charity, because things that are superfluous for you, might be essential for someone else.

Forget what hurts you, forgive often, enjoy the little things in life and place your problems on back burner.

Cherish this day and each day, and make the most out of it, because you never know what’s in store for you the next moment.
