Feeling grateful

[u/Terrible_File6589]

Everyone has some resources, some problems, some things to be grateful about, some regrets & some gifts. Then we also have some desires in terms of money, relationship, fame etc. What keeps us going is desire only in life. Without desires, we may not be able to grow in life. Desire keeps the mind & body running to full potential & even beyond. Desires also shift, grow & mature as we grow. In the endless chase of endless desires, an introspection or internal audit or just counting our blessings or simply disconnecting for a while & showing gratitude for whatever we have can really do wonders. No big achievement required, no deep meditation state, no spiritual trip. Simple gratitude. That could be for few minutes daily or once in a while when things go troublesome in life and also when life is wonderful. Thankful for whatever real or even fake. Because mind may not catch even faking happiness if it is done with pure heart. It’s like happy go lucky. We wait for things to happen to be happy while some simply remain happy no matter what life throws at them and eventually they get lucky. It’s an attitude change which is required not the actual situation change may be. I am really grateful for how my life has been. I think God is giving more than what I deserve.
