Being Grateful for what we have

My status on facebook last night was "Thinking about putting a FML ban on my news feed...Hate people using it..Be grateful for what you have".With alot of like and comments i Thought it would be a good topic to blog about tonight.

A quote i like states "He who is a wise man does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has". 

Lately going over my facebook news feed i see "got a flat tyre.FML" "didn't get paid.FML".So much negativity.

Too many people focus on everything that is going wrong in there life,without stopping to actually being grateful for what they do have.They only see the present problems and not the big picture.

The problem is that when things are given to us over and over, we start taking them for granted or we forget about appreciating what we have.

So my challange to everyone is to take some time every day to sit down and go over everything you are grateful for,say thanks for everything you have in your life and I guarantee you will be happier about everything that comes your way.

I will leave you with another quote "We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude". 

Cheers
