Chapter 5 : Be grateful for everything

~ Thanks to every nice thing in your life...



How many of us are being grateful to be stay alive and well for everyday?

C, a nine year boy, who suffering from leukemia. In stead of being sad for everyday, or keeps crying. He just being thankful for everyday he got. He still able to breath normally. He still able to walk and play with his little sister. He is happier than most of the healthy adults. 

Do you see the power of being grateful? It makes you address the most beautiful things and nice things in your life. It makes you appreciate the sky is blue, the breeze of the wind, the aromatic smell of the coffee. It makes you to ignore whatever pain, losses or those unwanted feelings. 

How many of us says thank you for our parent? Do you see the wrinkles have climb up to their faces? Do you see how many white hairs they got? How many of us really enjoy the time of being accompanied by our parents? But instead of that, do you just shout at them when they nagging to you over and over again? Says the magic words - thanks for nice breakfast, thanks for their concerns, thanks for their care, and of course -thanks for their unconditioned love. 

I have seen many unhappy couples. They complained about each other so much. As if every single things of the partner that irritates them. But instead, do you reinforce the GOOD part of them? Do you PRAISE them when they do things right? Do you say THANK YOU for your wife of doing a good job of cooking a wonderful dinner? Do you say THANK YOU to your husband that working so hard outside and endure his irritating boss. Sometimes it is all just takes a little change can make such a big difference. 

Say thank you to your colleague. Say thank you to your clients. Say thank you to everyone you know that treats you well. And of course, you will get more than what you expected. 

Wake up and say it out, thanks for let me to have such a WONDERFUL day! 

It is all about the magic word - just say it!


Key message : Say thank you to those wonderful thing in your life!
