Be Grateful for What You Have... Now!

Gratitude... is a gift of the heart, rarely found by those who are busy wallowing in negative emotions, and for those who did - it is truly a blessing to behold. Being grateful for what you have is something you can even forget at the end of a very stressful day. Just for the strength of having survived one is a good reason enough to start being grateful.

You are given 86,400 seconds in a day and even a second spent on gratitude will help make a change. Would you rather regret not sharing a second of such a wonderful, positive feeling even for a second? Sadly, many people regret the very things they ignore when they lose it. It doesn't have to be this way. You can be grateful for the simplest joys and pleasures you have in your life, now. This means ... NOT Later, NOT tomorrow... but.. NOW!

Life's tough ordeals take a toll on everything that we do with our lives. You can only focus on something wrong, and it seems like everything always goes wrong in an endless loop of self-destruction. It's like bad karma that you create for yourself and you are trapped in the center of the very limbo you have spun. You are your own prey as you wait for the black widow of hopelessness to devour you.

Things doesn't have to be this way if you just simply take the time to say "Thank You " today. What are you grateful for? Try to find your gratitude in your heart. It can even be a special friend who inspires you to be your very best. No matter who or what you are thankful for, better do it now. If someone does you a favor, never be shy to smile and say thanks. It may brighten up a person's day.

Gratitude... should never be something you force on yourself just for you to live in an illusion of positivity. It must be something felt honestly, something given wholeheartedly, and something that is pure of simplicity. If you are not grateful now, then.. when?

" I am thankful for the company of a good friend who makes me smile after a tough day.. "
