Adventure of gratitude

Gratitude is the foundation of fulfilled life. It is also the key difference that divides happy from unhappy people. Unhappy are focused on the things they don't yet have, while happy are grateful for what they already have. We do not come to this world grateful, we must learn it. Gratitude is a skill, and as any other it requires practice.

Gratitude is a thing of choice. It is your choice will you be grateful or ungrateful, will you take your health and health of your loved ones for granted or not, will you take the food and beverage you consume everyday for granted or not, will you take parents, partner, friends for granted or not. Every day you make choices and that is why you are solely responsible for the value of your life.

Maybe you think you don't have anything to be grateful for.
Let me offer you some help then.

You can be grateful that you still don't have everything that you have ever wished for, because what would then be a thing that you are looking forward to? You can be grateful that you still don't posses all the world's knowledge, because then you wouldn't have a chance to learn something new? You can even be be grateful for the hard times you have been through, because that is a chance for spiritual growth.

You can be grateful if you are physically limited, because that gives you a chance to try harder and show all your strength. You can be grateful for every new challenge in front of you because that gives you a chance for an insight in your strength and a chance to build your character. You can be grateful for the mistakes that you are making, because they enrich your experience, they give you an opportunity to see your strength and help you to learn something new.

Be grateful if you are tired, exhausted, it means that you have done something that day.

It is easy to be grateful for the good things, but the ones that are able to be grateful while things are tough, will live a truly fulfilled life. If you are interested in going on an adventure of a completely new life, you don't have to go far, start with gratitude.
