'Thank You' instead of...
...instead of 'give me', 'I want to have', 'I need'...
Last couple days I was not active here because I was preparing for the Orthodox Easter, and while I was preparing for the holyday and celebrating it, I was thinking a bit about gratitude. About how greateful people are and I realized that we are much more foxusing on the things that we do not have than on the things we have.
We always think about things we need and about things we want to have but we do not have, instead of thinking about how happy we are for the things we already have.
I connected this to the Easter and I was thinking about this topic because of the Easter, but it is not actually connected to the God. It is not about things God gave to you. It is about things you have. God is not the one who is giving to you, you have to work for it, and if you do not work for it, those are simply things that exsits and do not depend on you, but you are glad to have them around you. For example, if your family is healthy, it is not thanks to you, but you should be grateful for that.
For every single small thing. For everything you think it is supposed to be there or you think is not something what you should pay attention to you.
But, if you drank your favorite coffee with your mother yeaterday, you should be grateful for having a mother, for having a coffee and for having a time to spend with your favorite person frinking your favorite coffee.
So many things all around to be grateful. And, before you get mad because you do not have something, think twice is it really neccessery to you. Many things you do not need. I understand that a man always wants to have something better and more and it is normal, you should work for it, you should fight for ehat you want, but you can also be happy and satisfied even if you od not have it.
Because, when you are greateful you can be calm and happy and when you are happy you can move forward and fight for the things you want to have.
Be greateful to yourself, you brought yourself there where you are now, and you will lead yourself to your goals. So, sit down and say 'thank you' to yourself, show some gratitude to yourself. Show yourself how much you love and appreaciate yourself.
You deserve it.
You have a lot and you will have more, just focus on what you have and fight for what you want.
See you soon,
