Gratitude

Friends, have you ever questioned yourself  "What life owes u??" or instead "what somebody or someone owes u in your life??" Guess no!!!!! but its time for that... i know its obvious that all our minds are filled with loads and loads of demands..... for ex: Hey its my life, want it to be fulling with frnds, family. Want my frnds to react or be the way, i want them to be.... or something like he/she is my girl/boy  why cant he do it for me, he has to or he will kind of things isn't it?? its quite human to get all this as answer..... but my question is, is it written somewhere that , if god has given u birth then he has to make it fulfilling and as u want?? or is this written some where that: he/she is my girlfriend/boyfriend, my fourth coming husband/wife he owes his/her life all to me?? is it?? This is what takes us all away from our happiness. And trust me Gratitude is what we all need.... Instead of focusing on what life has not given us, lets focus on what we have got in life  and

be thankful for it. Seriously, no where its written that we have to get this, but still we have got so much right, so what we have got is really a gift, rather a precious gift.

     Gratitude is the recognition within one, that "Life has nothing to give us, between what we get is a precious gift."

   Once upon a time there lived a blind man, who used to beg daily for his livelihood. One day he sat on the most crowded street and began as usual with his routine. Hemade a board with a signature saying "I am blind." and infornt of the board he kept the hat, so that people can place their pennies into it. The day started so, there was no collection at all from morning. Then suddenly a man came and dropped in the coin. And he also did one more thing, he took the board changed the signature which the blind guy was unaware of and went off. Then within an hour the people started dropping the coins, and the blind man was very happy. After 2-3 hours the same first man returned. And he was very happy seeing the hat of the blind. But blind recognising the footsteps of the man asked him, what did you change the signature to?? The man said "The same thing what you said but in a different manner." I just changed it to "The day is beautiful , But I am Blind".

The second signature has bought in the feeling within people that "I am lucky enough to see this beautiful day." So whatever thing you get from anybody or anything do respect and value them instead of taking them granted.

This gratitude can make you stay happier, can form the positiveness around you, It even has the power which will make you see the good things even in the unpleasant situations happening with you. So the secret of happiness is we need a sharp lean towards Gratitude. For that we just need to do some things like...

1. Appreciate for what u have

2. Give thanks

3. Keep smiling

4. Have fun

Once you become oriented toward looking for things to be grateful for, you will find that you begin to appreciate simple pleasures and things that you previously took for granted. Gratitude should not be just a reaction to getting what you want, but an all-the-time gratitude
