How to be grateful

We all have something in common, in that we all have things we don’t have. But we all things we do have, too. We have that in common as well. For starters, we have this life. Cliche, but not really. Cliche, but true. 

It’s in the not-having of things that we are even able to improve ourselves in the first place. Improve ourselves by becoming the skilled, experienced person we need to be in order to acquire those things – that’s what helps make life interesting. 

Do you think that if it all came so easily that it would be rewarding? If everything came easily we wouldn’t care about the things that came are way. 

That’s why we already take for granted the things that we do have. Because we don’t realize how lucky we are to have them. We kind of just woke up with them, they were already here. 

So let’s choose what we focus on. Let’s be consciously aware, daily, of everything that we do have.
