If you watch the news regularly, you have noticed how violent the world is today.
Some people live in extreme pain and suffering. Others are living in hardships, turmoil, disappointment and regret. So the fact that I can be grateful and mean it is, in its own way, a small miracle.
Gratitude is not my natural character, this took some time and effort. It was a discipline to remind myself of the many reasons I have to be grateful. Looking how good is your day, it’s always better than thinking how bad you have it.
When I start my day writing and saying out loud the one thinks I’m grateful for, it help me start my day with a sense of abundance and gratitude.
