Practice Gratitude Every Day

Enjoy Life

Human life is very precious. Each day is a new beginning. God has bestowed on all of us many gifts and it is up to us, how we take things in our life.

This world itself is very beautiful. We are born into this world and have people around to love and care for us. Just imagine how it would have been if we were born as animals or any other creature. It is only human beings who can think and express emotions in the form of words. The other creations have emotions, though they cannot express them. So we should be indeed grateful to God for giving us this beautiful Life.

Nowadays we hardly bother to show our gratefulness, not only to God but also to our parents and elders, which is even more painful. We forget the fact that even we are bound to undergo the same stages they have experienced in Life. Youthfulness and energy, which we boast about, is transient.

Life is too short to keep grudges and hatred. Let us try to avoid people who tend to make us unhappy, rather than arguing with them. As it is said, we waste a lot of energy while arguing. The most important fact is that it's always easier to make a person understand when his/her mind is calm.

We also waste a lot of our time in waste talks especially gossiping, back biting, etc., which isn't really good. Even I tended to do the same until I realized I shouldn't do that. It's a human tendency, however it is very important to reduce it. Instead, let this life be used for some good purposes.
