I heard a lot about being grateful for every little thing before. And one of my former colleagues also told me how great he feels about being grateful for every thing.

I was wondering why we should be grateful for every thing, since some things were the results of our own hard work, and some things were meant to be there.

For example, I used to be seldom grateful for my achievement since I thought it was the result of my hard work. I used to be seldom grateful for getting to know some friends since I thought we happened to meet. I also used to be seldom grateful for the food or other things I owned since I thought I paid for them.

In the past, I only thanked my hardships and failures as I thought they made me grow and became stronger.

Changes came without being noticed.

I don’t remember when and why I’ve begun to become thankful to many things, even those I used to think they were naturally there.

I thank my friends for guiding me on my way to achieve my goals, thus I discovered another different and exciting world and life, I discovered the potential and energy deep inside me, and I’ve been living a passionate and happy life! 

I thank my landcouple for providing such a good and cozy place for me that I could live happily and contentedly.

I thank my company for giving me the chance to work for them so that I could have a whole new experience in another country.

I thank the food provider for serving such delicious meals. What a wonderful chef!

I even thank destiny or God for helping me meet so many nice people.

I suddenly find there are so many things to be thanked.

As I’m filled with gratitude for many things, I feel happier when I’m with them.

Yes! Gratitude makes you happier. Gratitude makes you appreciate every thing so that there’s little room for anger, hatred, or impatience.

I’ve decided to be more grateful. Here are my plans.

1. Every day gratitude ritual. Show my gratitude for at least two things just at the moment that I open my eyes in the morning or close my eyes in the evening.

2. Get ready to show gratitude to every little thing at any time.

Let’s move forward together.
