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.

The Paradox of Our Times

*THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES* Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers Wider freeways and roads but smaller viewpoints We spend more, but we have less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense More knowledge, but less judgement More experts, but more problems More medicines, but less healthy lives We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and hate too often We have learnt how to make a living, but not how to make a life. We have added years to life, but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back But have trouble crossing the street to meet or greet the new neighbour. We have conquered outer space, but not our inner hearts We've cleaned up the air in our environment  but destroyed our souls. We claim to love all people but quick to show our prejudice We've higher incomes, but lower morals. We'v...

Support Small Business Owner Friends And Family To Grow

To all my self-employed, small business owner friends and family,  this article is dedicated to us!!!! Rihanna releases a lip gloss, people buy it.  Michael Jordan puts out new trainers in stores, people flock to these stores to buy them instantly. Dr. Dre  has new headphones, people buy it. Oprah Winfrey, the richest black woman in the world introduces a new weight loss and diet control program, people jump on board and flow with it. Beyoncé has a new concert, people queue in line to go spend £250 on a ticket just to watch her performance. A friend or family member of ours starts a business, and soon we become weary.  We say things like "Not sure this is going to work"  "This business you are starting is not going to go anywhere, I'll give you only 6 months, it will collapse to the ground"  " this your product is too expensive, you will be out of business in no time if you don't reduce your prices" Those of you, putting out negative comments...

USA And The Western World is Against Polygamy.. Our Ghana Law is Against LGBT Rights. Will They Allow To Set Up a Polygamy Office In Their Country??

On June 26 2015, the US supreme court struck down all state laws banning same - sex marriages and legalised in all the fifty states across America. I remember that day, pretty well watching CNN seeing then host taking the live feed Anderson Cooper in a jubilant mood. Pictures from the supreme court also painted the same picture. Men kissing men passionately, and women kissing women passionately and locking tongues as well. All this outside the US supreme court for the whole country and the whole world to see that the United States of America, the greatest free country on earth is now fully endorsing gay marriage and approving LGBT rights. The gay pride parade was insane, trust me. A few months later, some European Union countries also joined in and legalised it unanimously. I could recall on that evening I called up one of my Brazilian friends, a woman who had always been a strong advocate and a strong supporter of LGBT rights to pick her mind on what had just happened in the US. ...
