It is not happiness that makes us grateful. It's gratefulness that makes us happy.
This moment is a gift. The fact that I can write on this site for free is a gift. The fact that this site has become a way for me to express my thoughts is a gift. The fact that I am on my laptop right now writing this is something I should be grateful for.
I need to be self-sufficient. I am blessed enough in this life, yet I want more of what others have. Envy destroys happiness. I need to be grateful for what I have to be happy. It's as simple as that.
The fact that I am breathing right now is a gift. Thank you, God.
STOP, LOOK, and GO.
STOP and LOOK for all the OPPORTUNITIES given to you right now, as simple as the chair you're sitting on, the fan that you're using, the hand that's typing these thoughts, your eyes that are reading this thought, and the whole house you're currently in. BE GRATEFUL FOR THESE THINGS. They will pass by one day, so create stop signs in your life and remind yourself to look around and how blessed you really are right now. Then GO again and live life with gratefulness.
