Into the Deep

Be Grateful

Be Grateful

Be grateful to the things
you're scared of,
because they have given you the reason
to take risks,
pull up your sleeves
and face them.
They have also given you
the chance to do something
worthwhile while overcoming
your fears.

Be grateful to the things
that burned your heart.
Because they are made
for you to accept the things
that aren't for you;
to put heaviness on your shoulders
and tell you that everyone
suffers from pain,
but everything will be fine.
They have also taught you to
create an art,
compose a melody,
write a rhythm,
or to do something
out of a broken heart.

Be grateful to the things that
can make you smile,
can make you feel lighter
and can lessen your pain.
Because they are bound
to let you continue living;
to let you realize that
in every too bad encounter,
there's always a too good purpose;
and to let you know
that the world is still filled
with laughter and beauty.
They are also bound
to add brightness
and meaning to your life.

Be happier.
Be more appreciative.
Be more grateful.
