An Attitude Of Gratitude


To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have.

Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life.

If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude.

I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment.
It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so.
I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude to God  that I couldn't realise that my ability to crawl alone was a great start and a progress for me. I had to learn to accept my disability as a blessing in disguise first, before my inner self freed me to move forward step by step until now that I am able to walk with the aid of a pair of crutches. Today, I go everywhere I want to go by myself, I am able to honour meetings and  appointments on time.

The fascinating thing is that I'm able to write and type everyday words of inspiration and encouragement to share with you every morning with this same twisted hands I once used to hate and felt ashamed of.
The thing that changed for me here is my Mindset. I changed it from self hate to self love or gratitude.  Most of us are typically like my old self.     We have refused to be grateful for anything in our life.

You used to work a tough 9-5 job without  salary at the end of the month sometimes, until someone helped you out with a seed money and supported you to start your own business. Today, you are very successful, yet you have forgotten that someone or the people who helped you to get to where you are now.
Be grateful my brother and sister. Go back and thank or honour that one person or the people that helped you before it's too late.

Your life's dream is to be a millionaire yet you are ungrateful with the first 100,000 money you have just made. You feel it's too small so you do not value it. How are you going to move closer to getting even  half a million with this stupid attitude. Just tell me how....

You have a beautiful woman for a wife, a handsome man for a husband who has held you down through thick and thin, now you have made some good money from your business, and you want to take on another wife or husband who is befitting of your current rich status. You claim your former wife or husband is uneducated. She or He can't speak good English.  Shame on you!!!!!

There is one principle each of us need to understand very well in this life, being grateful for little things in life  and staying humble opens doors of good fortune for you more than your hardwork or talent.

Have an attitude of gratitude to keep holding on to  your blessings.

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.

The purpose of Hardwork or Sacrifice

Why do we work so hard or sacrifice so much for something?? What does hardwork or sacrifice mean to us?? What are we expecting to get in return from our hardwork or sacrifice?? Is it all worth it at the end?? We all have come to believe and understand for many years now that it pays to work hard. Many of us have different reasons why we work hard or sacrifice so much. For majority of us, we work hard every day so we can have a lot of money to do or get whatever we wish or desire for. But the real purpose of our hardwork should not be about money but should be focused on value and impact I believe. Think of these great people who have made their mark in the history of our world..... Jesus, Mohammed, Solomon, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates,  Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama among a few. What did all these great men and many more like them have in common? Value and Impact. Not the desire to make money. They had a greater purp...

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...
