Be Grateful for the Little Things

in be •  7 years ago 

Have you ever wondered why it is so easy to be grateful for the 'big things' that happen in your life and hardly grateful for the smaller and everyday things? Anyone would be grateful if they suddenly hit a big break, like waking up to find your 68 bitcoins in your wallet but for sleeping and waking up, for being able to excrete or even for a cold drink on a sunny day, we are hardly grateful because they seem just like normal things.

Being grateful for simple things will make it easy for you to live a more quality life. It will help you know that things are not completely be for you. If you keep your focus only on the big breaks, when they don't happen (and seriously, they don't happen everyday) we get frustrated and start comparing ourselves to others. This is the root of depression.

So take a look at your life and start to be grateful for the simple things. Be grateful for the sun, the rain, the smile on your kids' faces, for the ability to walk and talk, be grateful for Steemit. Be grateful when you can write even if no one comes to upvote you or donate steem dollars to you. Just be grateful for everything.

In this lies the secret to happiness. Wish you all a great day. Don't forget to comment, upvote and resteem.
