Contest | “Being Grateful"

Hi Steemians,
It's another day of the week and I'm delighted to participate in this contest today organized by @manisha.jain9 which talks about Being Grateful. I will be making my entry below so read through it and drop your valuable comment as it will be appreciated.

What is being grateful according to you?

To be grateful means to be thankful. When you are thankful for something that happens in your life or for what someone has given to you then we can say you are a grateful person.

Often we tend to be grateful for the gift of life, for the gift of friendship, and for whatever someone gives to us no matter how little it may be. So being grateful means appreciating that little thing that a friend gave to you or that work that a friend did for you.

So when you appreciate that little effort of a friend, then you are being grateful. If you also appreciate that little gift from a friend, you are being grateful.

What are the top five things you are grateful for in your life?

The top five things I'm grateful for in my life are firstly, I'm grateful for the gift of life. Many who are far better than myself to da are no more. So I'm grateful to God for this gift.

Secondly, I'm grateful for the gift of good health. You may not understand this until you go to the hospital. I see people praying daily to have the health I have today because they are dying.

Thirdly, I'm grateful for the gift of freedom. You will also not understand this until you go to the prison to see what people are going through. So I'm delighted that I'm free.

Fourthly, I'm grateful to my parents for giving me the basic education I have today because it has made me a better person. Without this education, I don't know where I would have been today.

Lastly, I'm grateful for the gift of the Steemit platform because it has helped me to learn and earn. This is something that I haven't seen anywhere.

Do you think being grateful and counting your blessings every day can make any difference in your life? Justify

Yes, being grateful always has a way of making you more blessed. If you are someone who appreciates the little that comes your way, bigger things will come your way.

If someone does anything little for you and you appreciate it very much, he will think of doing something larger for you because of the appreciation you showed in the little he did and you appreciated.

So you see being grateful every day will make a difference because people like to be appreciated, that alone motivates them to do more.

I want to invite @damithudaya, @xkool24, and @josepha, to join the contest in this community and share their entry participation.
