Being Grateful

It is important that we are thankful for the good things in our life. It is easy to get caught up in what you don't have, but true joy comes from being happy with what you have. And why not? There is so much that we take for granted, the world is full of miracles that we overlook because we have become so accustomed to it.

I am not going to deem any of your problems as trivial by giving you the whole 'be grateful because things could be worse' argument, but seriously, right now, pick out five things that you are thankful for. It can be as simple as being thankful for having lungs to breathe or that you have access to the internet so that you can read this awesome blog ;)  Once you have this list embrace it and feel warm for all the good that this life has given you. You will also find that the more often you feel good about what you have, all of the things that aren't so great or that could be better will slowly begin to improve because you are now focusing on the positive instead of the negative.
