Be Thankful

It is a characteristic of all people, to think that we are in the worst positions anyone could possibly be. We make our many problems to seem insurmountable and add unnecessary stress and pressure upon ourselves.

Many times in these ‘tight situations’, we do not realise how lucky we really are. We either over analyse our situation or under analyse our situation, both being very dangerous to the manner in which we perceive objectives. We do not see how lucky we are, as we are blinded by our own personal wants, that if compared to the situations, others find themselves in, we should be thankful, for all the blessings we receive daily.

We are blessed in many ways, some more than others. To be alive is a gift. In every way we are special and have characteristics which stand out uniquely from the next person. We should be thankful that many of the strong storms we encounter pass over time. For many people, storms do not end. These storms determine what their tomorrow would be like. We should be thankful that we have the opportunity to overcome the storms that come our way. We should be grateful and thank the heavens for carrying you through. When you thought you where bad off, think again, think of others, who you could help and they could be thankful for having you as their friend.

May we realise that life is filled with beautiful roses that have thorns. May the thorns in our lives also have beautiful roses to cheer us up when problems arise. May we be thankful for whatever comes our way, and may God bless each day.
