Have You Thanked You Today?

Too many things happen in a year, a month, a week, or even a day. The events were like a roller coaster in an amusement park. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down, sometimes it stops for a moment. Too many moments that we pass every day, but forget to thank the universe.

Life is like riding a train. Each person has a different goal. The carriage is not the same. So, if your friend arrives at their destination first, don't feel burdened. You too have your own path. It's okay if you start late, it's also okay if you get to your destination in a long time, the most important thing is that you keep moving. It's okay to stop for a moment. Like a swing, it's okay to step back every now and then so you can swing forward.

Life is not about getting it fast, but more about experiences that make you grow. Pain, disappointment, sadness, happiness, anger, all these feelings helped you to keep growing up to this point. Don't forget to thank yourself, because you are the one who helps you through the process of life.

Tears that flow profusely, sweat that runs down your cheeks to your chin, a tired face that keeps feeling disappointed, all of that makes you who you are now, you who are tougher to face the bitterness of the world.

Have you thanked me? Be grateful in bitter times, because they teach you how to grow. Also, be grateful for the good times, because they help you to endure the world's tiredness.

Thank God who always accompanies you faithfully. Be grateful to your parents who always support you without doubting you. Thank your friends who often joke around just to cheer up your day. Thanks to the ojek drivers who never get tired of dropping you off on cold mornings. Be grateful to the food seller who always smiles every time you buy her wares. Be grateful to everyone you meet in life, because they have a big role to play in your life story.

Be grateful for the little things around you, because without you realizing it, it could be what helps you to continue living life.

Don't forget to thank yourself. Because you are the one who brings you in every journey of your life.

And I will thank you, thank you for sticking around.
