Hello everyone
I hope you are all doing well and hope your week has been going smoothly so far, even if things have been a bit tough or stressful, I want you to take a moment to relax and smile. Today, I want to talk about something very simple but very important gratitude or in other words being appreciative. We all go through different things every day, and sometimes we forget to stop and think about the good things we have or the kind people around us, so in this short write up, i just want to remind us how powerful it is to show appreciation.
I hope you enjoy this little write up i have put together and maybe it will even encourage you to be more grateful in your daily life.
Expressing gratitude after which something awesome has been granted or done for us should come at ease and shouldn't be forced in any manner. but these days your little efforts to help other people now doesn't Matter since they regarded it as little help, only a few and those that understand the actual meaning of being grateful understand that when you show gratitude to the little efforts from people they will want to offer more help when next you need them and they will be willing to help unlike when you show no gratitude to their little efforts of helping.
When it comes to showing gratitude on my list first is definitely God, him alone deserves all the praise and worship and all the glory belongs to him because he is the only one worthy of it all. the things he does are incomparable and can't be done by anyone else and no one can be compared to him. He's the reason for our creation, he is the reason we are alive till this moment, he keeps providing in times of need, and those times we actually have, his love is genuine that he even gave his only begotten son, this kind of love is unquestionable.
When you show gratitude towards God that means you truly acknowledge his goodness, mercies over your life and this helps to develop your relationship with him. in the bible it was cited that we should give thanks in all circumstances. he is aware of what we are all going through, your situation can't be the worst there are people out there battling what you can't even handle. I'm not making heat of them at all but I'm trying to tell you to give thanks to God always.
The second on my list should be our parents because they actually allowed us to come to this earth, not all had the opportunity to experience this because they were aborted at one point or the other but being alive this day was also a joined effort from our parents and obviously, God made it possible. if you have parents that took care of you from the point of birth to the point at which you are old enough to take good care of yourself even till this moment you should be grateful for that because not all children given birth to were taken care of by their parents and this is a blessing so we should show gratitude to our parents because they are actually our second god in this earth.
The third important people in our lives should be our friends. as we grow older and become more independent, we start making our own decisions without our parents help and at this stage, the kind of friends we have can really influence the choices we make. That’s why there’s a common saying, “Show me your friends, and I’ll tell you who you are.” It means that the people you spend time with can shape your behavior, your thinking, and even your future. If you surround yourself with good, honest, and hardworking friends, chances are you’ll become like them too but if your friends are always getting into trouble or making bad choices, you might end up doing the same..... so it’s very important to choose your friends wisely because they can either help you grow or lead you in the wrong direction.
Friends almost have the same influence as our parents and it works like this..... if you're not brought up well by your parents or you failed to listen to what your parents do tell you, definitely you will be taught by your friends and they may lead you astray or lead you to your success. no matter what happens always surround yourself with good friends. if you have a friend that comes in a time of need, be grateful to that your friend because not everyone has this same opportunity.
Finally the last on my list is ourselves when no one is around to support including friends, families, parents and what you have left are yourself and God. when you lose hope and you get depressed and you are that kind of person that pushes for success and never give up easily, be obliged for that Kind of person you're because not everyone is like you and no one will ever be like you and if you're that person that encourages others to be better be grateful for who you're.
When you show gratitude that means you actually acknowledge or recognize positive things in your life and you really appreciate them, so whenever we recognize any positive things let's endeavor to be grateful since not everyone is blessed with such opportunity.
Thanks for reading 😊
