What is gratitude in your opinion?


Gratitude is essentially valuing every gesture towards us. It is one of the qualities; with it, humility is the most precious gem, cherished by humanity because the grateful person is one who thinks well, is attentive, and doesn't just focus on themselves. They see others with greatness and importance.


Why is gratitude important?

Because gratitude penetrates the soul of the giver. It's like a beautiful gift of a simple and rarely used word. Therefore, we need to be conscious and take the time, as receiving a gift is easy, but expressing thanks is the key, not from a selfish motivation but as a good habit that enriches life.


How often do you express gratitude? (provide examples)


I express gratitude to God daily, to my wife for meals, to life for the daily sunrise, and when things happen that deserve gratitude. It's good to appreciate posts, support, and any virtue around us, like my dogs, which are a divine grace to have. I'm also thankful for having a mind that functions on its own with little assistance; that's a gift from God because I do things effortlessly, ideas flow, and I didn't do much to organize the millions of thoughts in my head. It just happens, and for simple things, one should be grateful. That's why it's essential to meditate so that fruits of peace, love, gratitude, and humility sprout from the heart.

How can gratitude become a habit, and how to instill it in the young?


A child, easy to guide, does what they imitate, but an adolescent is more resolved. For me, the best approach is to encourage them to be avid readers, exploring books by diverse authors because written education is like a river that washes away or diminishes negative attitudes. This helps them to think better. If they have a bad character or engage in negative actions, it's because they developed them over time; it didn't happen overnight. However, to teach, one must be a model. For example, my son told me yesterday that he read three books because he is a salesman and is reading targeted materials. He said he reads a lot because he saw me reading a lot. It's not possible to teach something if one is not that something. Recommending a book is uncommon but can open a mind with many limitations in this age of social media, which makes you cold and distant. Reading is the only possible tool to counteract the tremendous destructive effects of social media.


Well, there is my participation. Greetings, and thank you very much for the contest.

Amigo gracias por la invitación 👍🏻
Me encantó tu post y verdad que agradecer a nuestras parejas lo que hacen por nosotros es un acto de bondad absoluta, las cosas que cada uno hacemos por la relación, la fortalece. El ejemplo que mencionas de tu hijo, es algo que indico en mi post, coincidimos es eso: el ejemplo arrastra! Y la compañía de los peludos, es de laswjores cosas que podemos agradecer, creo firmemente en que ellos llegan a nuestra vida por pura casualidad
Un abrazo hasta Argentina 🫂

Hello @germanbava, this is a beautiful piece. The relevance of gratitude in our lives and coexistence with others around us can never be overemphasized.

It is nice to know that you give thanks to God and also for cooking meals. It always feels good to be appreciated.

Indeed a child is easier to guide when compared with an adolescent. You suggestion of encouraging them to engage in avid reading is one good one. Though it depends on the books they read.

All the best in this contest friend.

Hello, thank you for your appreciation. Not having the habit of reviving your mind through reading makes you very uneducated for this life.

I completely agree with that friend.

You're indeed a grateful person unlike so many today who are so unthankful! I can't agree more with you that children learn from example more than words! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful post with us. Success!
