Be thankful

in life •  7 years ago 

Hello Friends,

[Free to use]

I had a conversation with a friend today where he shared an experience with me, So I also thought of sharing my thoughts about it with you.

He narrated how a friend who had been jobless for past 6 years, roamed around like a wanderer finally got a job.
He toiled from South to East, North to West for good 6 years searching for job but his application hasn't for a day be considered until few days ago
.

Interesting part of the story to me, was that someone was actually relieved of his position, who happened to be a known friend. His offence was not a good reason and acceptable reason to lay him off. But what could he have done?

Nothing is given freely : Someone paid the prize

This quickly came to my mind. For every good that happened to a person, there is a corresponding negative effect on another.

For every goodies you enjoy, someone paid for it.

For every wealth you gathered, someone had became poor.
For a position assumed, someone had been demoted or retrenched.*

You went to a supermarket, and an item worth of $100 was sold to you at a discount of 30% : someone paid for it.
Even the life that we live, we are said not have deserve it: Jesus christ paid for it.

There is always a reason to be thankful.

You are privileged

It worked out for you so fast, so good. Meanwhile, that man had been pursuing it even more diligently and committed than you ever do. But he seems to always be unlucky." No, you are privileged". He paid for you.

We have a common purpose in life; be responsible for the less privileged.

In the real sense of life, they paid for you to be in that wealthy, richer and influential position.

"How would you be valued if there was no 'them".

The secret to permanent victory, wealth is very simple.

Be Thankful

Well said friend.... Even life it's self come with a price and God paid for it...if one become successful in life, someone somewhere paid the price for it....in everything in life someone somewhere directly or indirectly was responsible for it. Somebody somewhere made life comfortable for you today.. So let's be thankful.. Thanks for this wonderful post.

"Oh! Freebies, free gifts, oh, look". Someone paid for it. Thankfulness depends on what is in our heart, rather than what is in our hand.
We should appreciate things more, because for everything that is free, someone paid for it. We are living in hope for eternity because Christ paid for it. Thank you for this.
