Gratitude.

Positive values are very important for a person to walk in the right path in their life. One of the most important positive value which should be embraced by everyone is gratitude. As for me I would say that gratitude is the key to happiness in our life. Gratitude can change any situation in to a happy and peace situation. As human beings, one of the biggest challenge which God has given us is that we always see what we could have gotten and forget to appreciate and be grateful for what we have at that moment. Due to this, human beings get sad, angry, anxious, and depressed. So to change this situation, gratitude should be applied by everyone. When we be grateful with whatever we have we will always have unlimited happiness in our life. The most important thing in a person’s life is peace and happiness, we might have so much of money, property but end of the day if we don’t have peace and happiness in life then life is empty.

Gratitude is also the key to peace because when we be grateful for everything, we will have a peaceful life. Yes, we can dream big and have goals in life at the same time we should be grateful with whatever we have at that moment. When I was a child, my mom would always tell me to be grateful for whatever I have in my life. She always tells me “At least you have a place to stay, food to eat because there are people who don’t even have what you have right now”. Until today this is what I follow in my life where I am always grateful to God, and I am grateful and happy with whatever I have in my life.

The first person we should show our gratitude is to God. Everyday say thank you to God because every day God is giving us a new day and new opportunities. Whatever the situation is, it might be a good or a bad situation we should always thank God. Because I believe that God will never put us in a situation which we can’t overcome and whatever God does its all for our good. We might not understand it at that moment, but it will make sense one day.

Other than that, how can we show gratitude towards others? The easiest way is to say “thank you”. The word thank you can change a person’s life. The word thank you automatically puts a smile on the other persons face. For an example when we say thank you to a person automatically they smile and say your welcome. So, say thank you as much as you can in your daily life.

Finally, Gratitude is the key to have a great life in this world. Everyday say thank you to God because everyday is a gift from God.

Thank you.
