In reality we have a LOT I should be grateful for. I’m sure if you take time to think about your life, you have a lot to be grateful for too.
No matter where you are in the world or what is going on in your life right now, I can promise you that showing gratitude for your blessings will make you happier, more successful, and will put you one step closer to achieving the abundant life you desire.
In rounding up for this year, I’d like to highlight 10 things that everyone should be grateful for each day. Enjoy!
#1: Family
Not everyone has a mother, a father, or even siblings, but all of us are blessed with family in one way or another. Remember, someone doesn’t have to be a blood relative to be family. Make sure you tell your family (blood related or not), that you are grateful for them.
#2: Your Mind
I’ve suffered from anxiety and various mental disorders for most of my life, but at the end of the day I still thank the heavens everyday that I have my mind. Our minds allow us to reason, to think creatively, and to make decisions that will impact our future. It’s important to show gratitude for your mind, even if it has its limitations.
#3: The Opportunity to Learn
Whether you’ve had a formal education or not, all of us have the opportunity to learn something new everyday. Isn’t it a blessing to be able to explore all the knowledge this world has to offer? Make sure to be grateful for the chance to learn.
#4: Your Mentors
Mentors are the people that inspire us, teach us, and help us become the best version of ourselves. If you’ve had an important mentor in your life, make sure you show gratitude for that person’s sacrifice on your behalf.
#5: The Sunrise
Each sunrise is a sign that you have another day to make an impact on the world. Even when you are experiencing challenges in your life, you can always find hope in a new sunrise.
#6: Trials
Our trials and challenges provide us with a unique opportunity to grow, mature and become better people. I’ve had my fair share of trials so I know it doesn’t feel great in the moment, but just keep reminding yourself that even trials will pass. Once they are over, you’ll be grateful you experienced them.
#7: Rainbows
Every time I see a rainbow I am reminded that everything will turn out ok. Isn’t it funny that we normally see rainbows when things aren’t going well in our lives? Remember that next time you see one.
#8: Your Career
Hopefully you work in a job and a career that you’re passionate about, but even if your job isn’t your favorite thing, it still provides you with the income you need to survive. Even on your bad days at work, remember to be grateful for your job.
#9: Your Home
No matter where home is for you, there is something special about having a place that is comfortable—that allows you an escape from the rest of the world. If you want your home to be a safe haven for you, make sure to express gratitude for it as often as you can.
#10: Love
Love is what binds all of us together, and at the end of the day, it’s love that gets us through all the challenges we face in life. If you feel like you don’t have enough love in your life right now, I encourage you to seek after it. Love can change lives for the better. If you have an abundance of love, be grateful for it each and every day.
Cheers.
