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.

How To Treat A Man

Men are often stereotyped for being weak or soft if they show their love or affection openly. But the truth is, men also need love too. Men need tender loving care and affection and attention just like women do. Caring, showing love and affection and giving attention is not only about women. It is about men too. Men also need early morning calls, just for their women to tell them sweet words too, encouraging words to carry them through the tough day they are already having or that sweet short text message you can send him just for him to know you love him and you are thinking about him. This is the reason why most married men  turn their attention to slay queens and side chicks looking for this kind of treatment. And not necessarily for sex. So from now on, ladies, start also calling your men and husbands, tell him sweet words, encourage him and inspire him,  learn to compliment him on his good looks, what he wears and appreciate with much admiration what he does for you....

Raising Responsible Children

To be a good parent to your child or children means parents must sacrifice their desires and needs for that of their children. Because of this, you must make sure to teach them the right things and guide them on the right path so they can become the proud children you dream of them to become in the future. At this early stage of their lives, we are the only ones they are looking up to. So every thing we teach them is of utmost importance to their growth and social development. Disciplining your children can be a tough thing to do in today's world. But you risk nurturing bad children if you allow them to do wrong without setting boundaries and limits for punishment. Do your best to deter them from harm or evil. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Hopefully if you and I can do this right, our  children will be the mirror of the perfect world we seek. I leave you with the lyrics from the song, the greatest love of all by George Benson and later Whitney Houston. I believe that chi...

Trust

Many of us today did  trust in other people blindly  so much that we never thought they will do us any wrong or betray us, but they did. They took advantage of our naivety and our complete believe in them to control and manipulate us into getting what they want from us, after that,  they left us alone in the cold. All because we trusted them.We were naive to trust in the wrong people. Period! On the other hand, we were the ones people trusted so much and yet we let them down and disappointed them. To their suprise, they may have been expecting the disappointment and the betrayal to come from a complete stranger they don't know, but it came from us. We all at one point in our lives have been victims and offenders in this game of trust. It is better to tell a bitter truth to a person you love so he can cope in difficult situation in life and be self reliant and independent in all things than to tell a sweet lie that will cause someone to depend on you or trust you co...
