Gratitude lesson

Gratitude

     We all want different things. In the pursuit of happiness we are sometimes blinded and think that in order to achieve that zen state of mind we need this and that, a bunch of stuff or positions or so on.  Most of the time we don't get them. Or we don't get them when we want them and we become frustrated, angry, filled with negative emotions and we waste most of our energy on these toxic thoughts. 

     Do you want to be happy? If so...nothing and no one but yourself is capable of bringing you in that state of mind, of consciousness. If you say that I will be happy when I get that, when I get this, when I will be like that and so on it gets you nowhere. Accept yourself, accept others, accept situations as they are. Even if it seems like something awful in the moment it is only a life lesson. We cannot become strong if we don't go through fire. And sometimes pain burns our souls. But if you turn that flame into passion for constant learning and improving then you are on the right path.

     One important thing to keep in mind. Be grateful for who you are and what you have. You have this wonderful gift of life. Enjoy every second of it. Good or bad, it is your gift. Cherish it. Nothing happens without a reason. Every person you meet, every obstacle you face, every fight you win are all there because you need to learn something.

     We all have the right to be happy. And we can be if we learn to be grateful for everything that happens to us. Even misfortune. That has a purpose too. People that have difficult lives become great persons if they just learn to hope. Things can change at the blink of an eye, and they can change for the better. 

     We are all in this together. We are never alone. Feel connected to everyone because you are. Even if there is no one there for you...make the choice of being the one there for someone else. Think about the other person that stands before you and don't judge. Everyone is on a different path that leads to the same direction, and that direction is evolution. 

      Be grateful that you are alive and make the best out of it. We all have that power within us, of creating beautiful things and seeing the good in others. We should use it. 

     What are the things you are grateful for? think about them...think about them everyday.

     Love, peace, light!
