Being Grateful in an Ungrateful World - Part 7

Turning Bad Days into Gratitude Days

When things don’t go our way and when everything around us seems to fall apart, the last thing that we can think of is to be thankful. When we are facing difficulties, all we do is complain and ask why bad things are happening to us. Turning bad days into gratitude days is really a great challenge for many people, but it is always possible.

Practice Counting your Blessings – Not all your Troubles

People spend most of their time lamenting about their troubles, complaining about the difficulties they suffer from that they no longer care about the blessings that they have received. When faced in difficulties, people really tend to forget what they have and the good things in their life.

People are all invited to start counting their blessings, even name them one by one and they will just be surprised about those amazing things that God had done into their lives. When faced in trials and adversities, count your blessings and you will also see that you heart will grow warmly with much feelings of gratitude as well as sweet feelings of happiness and peace.

Look at the Brighter Side of Every Situation

If you experience problems and difficulties at work, be more grateful that you have your own work. If you are facing challenges in life, be more grateful of these challenges because due to them, your life is not boring.

If you are facing trials in your life today, be thankful that these can give you much strength to overcome more trials in the future. Appreciate your challenges in life that can help you learn and be a stronger person.

To say that we are grateful does not mean that everything in your life is perfect; it only means that you are aware of all your blessings in spite of the challenges that you are experiencing.

If you remain angry, upset and frustrated because you are having a really bad day, that won’t change anything. In fact, that would make things worse.

Bring grateful during these times can brighten up your day as well as others. Getting what you want is not the only reason for you to grateful, sometimes, your appreciation in life becomes even more valuable when you learn to be appreciative in times of troubles and difficulties.

If you are in a difficult situation, instead of hating the world for giving you such problem, think of the benefit that you can benefit from it. Think about the things that you can gain from this situation and through this, you will become more inspired to overcome the difficult situation you are into.

Always look for something to be grateful for in every bad day you face. Also, it is better to understand the reason you are in such situation and think of the best things that you can obtain from it. If you learn to become more grateful and happy with every situation you are in, you can become happier in your life.

Always be grateful that you do not already have all the things that you want because if you did, there will be nothing more to look forward to. Be more grateful for every difficult satiation you are into because in those times, you are able to grow.
