Grateful heart

Good day, amazing people of the Hive blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. It is another edition in the #hivelearners community. I am so delighted to participate in this week's prompt, Count your blessings.

For me, gratitude means ignoring some problems in your life and realising that for every challenge you face, there is still something worth appreciating. No matter how bad life may be, there is something to be grateful for. I understand that life is full of ups and downs, but still there is something to be grateful for.

If there is one habit that I practise every day of my life, it is gratitude. My mum will always tell me back then, 'You don't need to have it all for you to be grateful.' We should learn to be grateful at every point of our lives. You should always remember that so many privileges we enjoy that people don't; we all benefit from one blessing, whether we admit it or not. God has really been faithful to every one of us, but one. We humans fail to thank him for what he has done rather than counting what he has not done. That is why I always say that we humans are so ungrateful; most times we often focus on things we don't have and forget things we have achieved.

No matter how miserable you think your life is, there is something to be grateful for. Waking up every morning is something to be grateful for. Well, I have thousands of things to be so grateful for; if a gun were placed on my head and I were asked to say things I am grateful for without thinking twice, I would state in detail how grateful I am.

Firstly, life and health. Each time I wake up and I realise that I am alive, breathing, and moving freely without the assistance of anyone, I am super grateful because thousands of people didn't wake up to see that beautiful morning, but I did. Why shouldn't I be grateful to my maker? I am this kind of person; that's why I have to show appreciation. No matter how little the thing is, I must show appreciation.

Secondly, personal growth. Oh yes, I am so grateful for where I am today, how far I've come, the challenges and the lessons life has taught me and the progress I have made. I am super excited whenever I look at how far my maker has brought me; I am always grateful for the blessings and opportunities he keeps bringing my way.

Thirdly, for the gift of friends and family, each day I wake, I always thank God for the gift of family and friends. They have really been amazing. Most times I sit and ask myself, what will life be without having them in my life? Even when I don't believe in myself, they are always there to encourage me and support me. I am so grateful to have them in my life.

Fourthly, basic needs: having good food on my table every day, shelter and clothing are very good reasons for me to be grateful to my maker. Well it’s fundamental but is not guaranteed to everyone, which isWell, enough reason for me to be grateful.

At every point of our lives we should be grateful and appreciate every moment.
