5 Things You Should Always Be Grateful For

Everyone needs gratitude in their lives
Including and especially those
Who say there have nothing to be grateful for
Gratitude is an emotion that never does harm
But always does so much good

When you can appreciate all the things you do have
You not only feel better right away
Which it's the ultimate goal anyway
But you open up a space to attract so much more to be grateful for

Commit to give gratitude a trial for 30 days
I promise, it will change your life forever
Start with these five things to be grateful for today

Number one, you are alive
Let's start at the bottom with something we all take for granted
The biggest thing we use to take for granted is our life
Our life and the lives of those we love
We all see examples of lives that end suddenly
And far too soon, but most of us still take our lives for granted
As if it can never happen to us or our loved ones
No one has any guarantee of next year, next month or even tomorrow
Be thankful for the life in time you do have
Especially for those you love

Number two, your health
If you're like most people
Your first thought when you're unwell is, I just want to feel better
But when we are better
Most of us still fill our bodies with food and substance we shouldn't
And feed our minds with negativity and stress
Which is not needed and causes disease in our body

Be grateful that you have your health
If you have an illness or disease
Be grateful for the parts of your body that are healthy
Those parts of the vibes, were spread
And at the very least will make you feel better
If you really spread with positive vibes and gratitude for your health
Chances are, you could replace your prescription drugs
With positive thoughts and gratitude in a very short space of time

Number three, opportunity
We live in an age abundant with opportunities
Never has there been a time in human history
With more options to create your own income
Do things you love in your own way
In your own time and get paid for it

The early potential today is virtually limitless
And unlike many years ago, you don't need a fancy education to achieve
All you need is a will to learn and a great belief in yourself
Be grateful for the abundance of opportunities
And trust your intuition on which part you should take

It might not happen right away
And you may fail many times before you reach success
But you can always be grateful
For there is always opportunity to start again
And this time, with much more wisdom

Number four, the people in your life
This doesn't mean you have to feel love
For all family members and friends at all times
You might feel grateful for some family members
Who have taught you valuable life lessons
Like exactly how you don't want to be
You might be grateful for some who have given you pain
For they made you strong

But most importantly, be grateful for the family and friends you love the most
Those that will always stand by your side no matter what
If you're not blessed to have these in your life right now
Be grateful that you are on a path
To become in a person that will attract those people in your life in the near future
Be grateful, you can be that person for someone else
Because you were shown the opposite

Number five, be grateful for the hard times
The hard times are our greatest teachers
And where we grow our strength and character the most
It's certainly not easy feeling appreciative of challenging times
Especially when you're in the middle of one

But if you can recall some difficult moments from your past
I'm sure you'll find that most often
Those difficult times led to something better in your life
Life is not always easy and that is exactly how it was meant to be

It will be a pretty boring existence
If everything were exactly to plan every time
Be grateful for the challenges, the pains and struggles
For what made you who you are today
And you are perfect exactly as you are
