A Grateful heart will always attract favour.
Are you alive? Then be grateful for the gift of life. Many hopes and aspirations are lying 6-feet below the earth with no opportunity for expression. The richest place on earth is the cemetery where there are so many unfulfilled dreams, careers not developed and talents concealed. If you are reading this article, then be grateful for the ability to see what I have written, read and comprehend the message therein.
If your dreams have been dashed to pieces, you are still alive to dream again and again until you accomplish your purpose on earth. Be thankful for the ability to dream again! When you don’t appreciate the little you have right now, you will not be entrusted with much. The Sun, Moon and Stars were created by God for different roles. The Sun cannot be so ungrateful to tell God, ‘Now I want to rule the night nor will the Stars be stupid enough to twinkle during the day. Who will notice its sparkle?’ We are created for different roles in life. The greatest injustice you can do to yourself is wanting to be like Mr. A with the abilities of Mr. B. You can’t fit in or handle it. Find your place in life and fit in like a square peg in a square hole.
Appreciate your present situation, and aim higher. Life may not be so rosy for you at the moment, but you are certainly better than millions of people worldwide. You can either decide to be happy and thank God for what you have or dwell on what you lack. Don’t get depressed over the present situation and lose focus about your glorious future. When you are grateful, things will surely get better! According to the 3 times world footballer of the year, Zinedine Zidane , he said, “I once cried because I had no shoes to play football with my friends, but one day I saw a man who had no feet, and I realized how rich I am”. Life can only get better if only you are hopeful and grateful! Where you are at the moment is a temporary position. Don’t sacrifice your future for the sufferings of today. Life is a journey with so many stopovers, keep moving ahead with the spirit of perseverance, determination, diligence and a grateful attitude.
Develop the ability to smile every morning as you awake, it’s good for the soul!
Things will surely get better if only you can believe.
Lesson: appreciate Him for the cloud and He will give you the rain. Be grateful! Gratitude begets greatness.
