Why we have to be grateful?
Firstly because we existed.
We thank everything and everyone that are part and who are part of our existence.
Do we only thank those that give us money or food?
How about the air that we breath, isn't the first and most important for our survival?
Who made the air?
Are we not thankful of that?
When we wake up, do we give thanks?
Or we just get out of bed then rush because we're getting late in our work.
So sad...
I'm grateful every time I open my eyes and find myself able to live another day. All my blessings for the rest of the day start with that moment. I have had poor health for most of my life and keeping this attitude of gratitude goes a long way in helping me stay focused on what really matters.
Good to hear from you Sharon.
I thank you for being grateful every day.
I wish you all the best for the rest of your life.
I hope we all realize that we're given this life freely and we must as well share and spend this life and give this life in service freely. Our wages or payment for our skills and talents are extra bonuses we receive.
That is a very good way to put it @ronel. I do weight loss coaching and rarely get paid for it. But if one person can do better with their health because of my help, it is always worth it to me. But those pesky living expenses get in the way sometimes :)
I believe all efforts will be paid fully and maybe overflowed if not in this world, it would be in the next after spending our lives on earth. Nothing is wasted if its done for good.
Sometimes we could think we've done much but the reward is not what we expected.
But when it becomes a habit of helping and reaching out, we could no longer think of anything in return and this is the time we'll receive things/joys that we don't really expect, it will just come.
I agree. Sometimes unintended consequences end up being the best ones.
