Why should we be grateful?
Hello steemian friends with this beautiful celebration cake, it can be from birthday, wedding, any special occasion that is celebrating, we always ask for wishes of happiness, health and thousands of other things. But I think that more than asking the universe, we should give thanks.
we must begin by focusing on the positive things that we do have and do happen to us. Usually we tend to see only the negative, because they are the aspects that have the greatest impact on us, or we only see when "spectacular" things happen for the same reason.
The truth is that regardless of our situation, good or positive things happen to us every day, and if we learned to identify them and thank them, we would surely live happier.
The simple act of waking up in the morning and knowing that you are alive is a reason to be grateful, to know that you can breathe, see, feel, smell, hear, walk; that in one way or another you have some food to feed yourself and water to cleanse you, are reasons why we can and should be grateful.
Various studies have shown that the happiest countries in the world are not the richest or have the greatest resources, but those in which their people, despite their problems, have a positive attitude towards life, with real expectations, which are grateful for the simple fact of living.
Being grateful not only fills us with positive energy and makes us happier, but it has the ability to make others happier. First of all because it gives you the ability to spread that positivism to other people, and also, because it is really gratifying for anyone, to hear the words of gratitude from others.
When you thank us for anything we have done, we feel appreciated, important and that our effort has been valued, so if you practice your gratitude to others, you will probably make them feel the same way.
This also strengthens the links with the people you love, appreciate or are around you, because it makes you a kind and happy person with whom many would like to be, to get a bit of that happiness and positivism.
Also, when we are grateful we have the ability to open our eyes to the world, and observe things that may have gone unnoticed before. It gives you the opportunity to appreciate the small details, and when we do, our attitude changes, and when that happens, everything around us changes. Have not you noticed how when we stop worrying, we have a more positive attitude and we let things flow, everything starts to happen as we expect? Or even if it does not happen as we expect, it happens better. Being grateful is part of that process.
That is why it is so important to begin to thank more and complain less, surely as everyone has important problems that merit a solution, however, surely also in the world there is someone who is going through it worse than you. So focus on what you do have, on the resources you have and how you can use them to improve your life, thanks and you will see how little by little things start to improve.
