“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” –Meister Eckhart
When i read this quote i just smiled because the writter makes it look and sound so simple. Saying thank you should always be part of our lives, part of the day. However, that is not the case.
See most of the times as humans we complain about the most basic of needs. At one point we complain how hungry we are later we complain how full our stomachs feel. At another day we complain how hot the sun is later we complain how the rain is too much. We complain how tough school is and yet another person would have wished to experience that struggle in school.
At the end of the day we complain of what we asked for. We need to learn to be grateful. Grateful that:
You are able to count your blessings
You can enjoy good friends
You can smell clean air, see the sunrise, listen to good music, take a walk, give a hug, smile,read a book,taste good coffee, bite a piece of cake.
You can ignore pain
You can ignore negativity
You have survived a hard day...
All this should be reason for grattitude. So before you complain about how miserable someone made your day be grateful that you have the ability to ignore them and live your life. Its all in your mind, you can smile in the rain, burst out in laughter in the sunshine.
Life has the bad and the good, choose to see the good today instead of waiting for someone to make you happy, choose yourself to make you happy. See how amazing life will be. Say thank you even if its the last word you feel like speaking at the end it will bring the good vibes and positive chills.
With gratitude,
Stay fly!!
