Recipe for Rightful Living: Be Thankful


How grateful are you for what you are, where you are and who you are? Do you brood over every occurrence or you take to reflect with a view to being thankful to your maker? It is time to have a rethink if you have never been grateful for anything. Gratitude is a potent force; it opens doors to opportunities. Why not take time to reflect on the following? Happy reflecting!

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire ... if you did, what would there be to look forward to? 


Be thankful when you don't know something ... for it gives you the opportunity to learn. 

Be thankful for the difficult times ... during those times you grow. 

Be thankful for your limitations ... they give you opportunities for improvement. 

Be thankful for each new challenge... which will build your strength and character. 

Be thankful for your mistakes ... they will teach you valuable lessons. 

Be thankful when you're tired and weary ... because it means you've given your all. 

It's easy to be thankful for the 'good' things ... yet, a life of rich fulfilment comes to those who are thankful for the setbacks. 

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive ... find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.


Moral Lesson

In all things, give thanks.
