5 THINGS WE SHOULD BE MORE GRATEFUL FOR.

I believe that the small things in life that we don’t appreciate as much is what makes our life worth living. Here are 5 things that I believe make my life worth living.  

1.       The biggest thing we should be grateful for , no matter how small or big it might be is a roof above our head, I don’t think we realize how many people don’t have a place to go back to after their day is over and just because we have it, we are not thankful and grateful enough. It never matter how big your house is and what facilities it has that your neighbor's house does not have. If I ever put you in a situation where after you finish college you wont have a HOME to go to, do you realize how things will fall apart for you?

2.       The next thing I believe we should be eternally grateful for is family. We all have issues, we all have problems but trust me “ BOYFRIENDS AND GIRLFRIENDS ARE GONNA COME AND GO BUT THIS? THIS IS FOR LIFE.” By family do I mean each and every member of your whole family? I don’t think we can do that but my FAMILY I mean our mom, dad, brothers, sisters and grandparents. That is all I understand when I say the world family. I always associate the word family with HOME because you feel loved, appreciated and taken care of around them. People come and go from our lives but since day one the only people who have been there with us throughout is our family and YOU yourself.

3.       The third thing for me would be FOOD on the table. Growing up we have had everything given to us whenever we wanted it. Do we appreciate it enough? How many times in our lives did we ever sit on the table to eat and thanked god for the food that is we are provided with so that we wont go to bed hungry and how many times did we pray for the ones who are looking for food but have to go home hungry? I don’t think we do. I am about 20 years old now and I still get things ready for me on time but there is a 5 year old kid somewhere who hasn’t had a full meal in days. If you think about it like that? I think yes, we were born with a silver spoon. A silver spoon which never ran out of the basic amenities of life.

4.       The next thing is friends. The best part is as you grow up you realize you cant be friends with everyone. You cant like everyone and everyone cant like you but I I am very grateful for some of the good friends I have made over the years and the friends I have now. Over time I have realized that every time you meet new people you don’t have to be close to everyone. There are always a few people who you just naturally vibe with and you never have to pretend around them, you don’t have to hide from them, you don’t have pretend to be someone else around them and I think those are the only people worth calling friends.

5.       And lastly something I am grateful for in life that I don’t know how many people are is new experiences in life. I think I have been grateful for that only recently because of everything I have been seeing and experiencing. Experiences and Challenges are a big part of life and I don’t think its wise to try to bypass them, I consider it wiser to face them no matter how difficult they are because if you fail now you wont make the same mistake  next time and that’s how you grow in life.
