How many of us start our everyday by saying THANK YOU, just for having our feet above the ground and the opportunity to live another day?

Starting our day, being grateful for all we have in life already, can make such a difference.

Our emotional state is lifted as we can’t be grateful and have negative emotions at the same time.

Gratefulness gives us a head start of the day. Even if everything in our life sucks, at least we think it does, We can all be grateful for something and this is Life itself. So when we start our day saying Thank You, we creat this state of mind that welcomes more blessings. Why? Cause we appreciate what we have and we can attract more good people or situations!!

I’m one of those people who didn’t know the power of being grateful and the change it will bring in my life if I started being one.

How did I change from being an ignorant to a grateful person?

It’s obvious isn’t it?

A loss is always a way to wake us up and make us realize how much we already have!!! To show us that if we don’t appreciate it, then it might as well leave us.

I can tell you this. I learned to become grateful the hard way. Is this the way you want to learn too Or is it better to start Now?

I’m sure we can all spare a few seconds of our life in the morning to say:

Thank you for being able to wake up today

Thank you for keeping my family healthy

Thank you for love

Thank you for my friends

Thank you for everything as little as it might seem to me.

We all have our blessings. Let’s be grateful and watch our lives welcoming more of those!!

When we start our day like this it becomes natural to say Thank you to everyone:

To the person that holds the door for us,

To the person that waits on a narrow path for us to pass,

To the person that handles us our shopping bag,

To the person that helps us with informations,

To the person that spends time to help us..

Can we add more Thank you in this list?

Sure we can!!! This way we aren’t the only ones with a smile on our face. We make the receivers smile too. Feel good. Isn’t this important?

And finally, there are those situations in our lives that Thank You, is difficult to even think about saying. It’s when nothing seams to work according to our plans. It’s when we deal with obstacles. It’s when we encounter losses.

Can we be thankful these moments?

Although hard to understand and accept it, in these situations we get to grow, get stronger and get ready for something better to come.

So I believe everyone can be thankful these hard moments if we have the mindset to overcome any obstacle or loss, learn the lesson and prepare for the best.

No mater what we encounter,

We either glow or grow through it!!

Let’s say Thank you, what ever comes our way!!

Let’s be grateful!!
