Everyday we wake is another day we’ve been blessed with life. Sometimes we take the smallest things for granted like waking up or having a job to go to. There are so many people who would give their right arm to be in the situation we are in, to simply be alive.. a situation we ourselves may take for granted or fail to truly appreciate.

Be grateful for what was, what is and what will be. But more importantly be grateful for now, instead of focusing on all that you don’t have stop and take a moment to be grateful for all that you do have. You may find you become happier finding a sense of peace, instead of a sense of constant wanting. 

Why not make your default state be a state of constant gratitude. Life will start to reward you with more things to be grateful for. A state of constantly longing for something will just continue to present situations where things are not enough, where you are never really satisfied.

Gratitude changes everything. Being happy doesn’t make you grateful, being grateful makes you happy. 

Forever grateful.
