What can I be Grateful for in Life?

Thoughts to Consider - Grateful

Being grateful is looking at all the good in life and knowing that you are blessed to be here now. When you go to bed each night and you are safe and sound, this is a blessing many people do not have.

Many people go to bed each night worrying about gunfire in their communities, shelter, the security of their job, personal finances, war, and where the next meal comes from.

The people who have a good outlook on life understand that they are not their circumstances. They continue to be thankful for the life they have. Regardless of the life they have, they are happy to be alive today.

I believe, and I am sure you do also, that it is important to appreciate what we have and don't have. What we have is the present moment. We have a life many people would trade for.

What we don't have is the life we don't want. Would you trade the life you have for death?

If you are reading this, you woke up this morning. This reason alone is enough to be grateful for all you have. Be happy that you are alive today to enjoy this blessing in your life.

Thank God, the Universe, or whatever higher power you believe in for your home, family, friends, job, business, health, wealth, your body, your different senses, your kind heart, and the ability to be ambitious.

Be joyful that you have an opportunity to make something of yourself and live on the path you have chosen. Be happy that you can make mistakes and they will not cost you your life.

Around the world, people are put in jail and even sentenced to death for a simple mistake of judgment. For many people, one mistake can mean financial ruin, divorce, or death.

Your journey is unique to you. You have the chance to pursue your dreams and goals. Many people do not know if they will ever pursue their dreams and goals because they live in an environment many of us could not survive in.

Too many people will not make time and spend a moment being thankful for everything they have and do not have.
