Why Being Grateful Is Important In Your Life
There is no doubt that it's easier for most people to be thankful when things are going well in their life as opposed to when they aren't.
Yet, it's in these difficult and trying times that appreciating what's still good is of the utmost importance.
Sometimes we take for granted the things about ourselves, others, and our lives that are positive and meaningful.
When challenges arise, or when you receive news of something unsettling about your life or someone you know, or in the world, it is a wake-up call to truly appreciate all that is present in your life just as it is.
Whether internal and/or external, these tough times are not only a reminder of what was beautiful and right about your life, but more importantly, what still is right here, right now, this very moment.
It's easy to get caught up in the days as they are and our expectations and perfections of how things "should or shouldn't" be.
You may recognize what's important in your life, but are you appreciating what's really of the essence?
From time to time you may become tricked by your beliefs, the negatives in your thinking or of what's occurring, and find yourself focusing on what's not working out as opposed to the blessings that are still abundant all around you even when you feel they aren't.
