If only it was so simple to grasp the concept! But it is! Reflecting on what you don’t have isn’t going to get you anywhere. It’s very easy to spiral down that rabbit hole but I know that WE ALL have the strength to focus on what’s necessary in life. The moment most people really dwell on gratitude is when they are at their lowest and have to pull themselves up. It’s honestly something we need to look at no matter where we are at in life. I feel that gratitude keeps your positivity boat floating and without it, you will sink into a miserable abyss. Remember that gratitude doesn’t have to involve large or material things. It has its more sincere and genuine role when affected upon an emotion or how you feel when you are with someone you care about.
In my life, I am super grateful for having my daughter in my life. She is the most important person in my life. I feel this gratefulness because she actually teaches me things about myself that I didn’t know. I learned how I am able to stretch my limitations and really prove to myself that I am worthy to be alive. I don’t always feel like I deserve her because she is so amazing but just being in her presence gives me so much joy and fills up my heart. Anytime I’m having a bad moment, I contemplate on what keeps me going and it’s the things that I am truly grateful for. Breathing air, eating a favorite food, enjoying a movie, vibing with good friends, running barefoot on a beach, trying new adventures and the list goes on and on. The appreciation for these seemingly “simple things” in life mean a lot more to people who don’t have the luxury of possessing such so, don’t take it for granted!
