In a world where it is so easy to get caught up in always seeing the negative, always complaining, always seeing the rain but never the rainbow, I find being a thankful, positive person is sometimes a challenge. Sometimes it is so much easier to believe the bad stuff in our lives than it is to find something, anything, to be thankful for. However, once you start finding the things in your life worth being thankful for, you will realize how you, too, can turn negatives into positives real quickly!!!!
I'm sharing this poem I found not long after I started on my journey to a more positive, thankful life in hopes that you, too, will find it inspiring enough to remember.
Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.
GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.
