Gratitude, Be Grateful.

Whenever you eat at a cafe and the food is not good, you give it bad review, you complain about it, to the manager and you even fight because you paid for it. But, how many times have you given credits to them or complimented them for good food? It is so easy to criticise someone for bad food you had (even though you didn't like it, you will eat). But appreciating someone or complimenting someone seems to be tough. 

Gratitude is all we need. You must have come across the word "Gratitude" while using social media. Social media influencers talk about it a lot. What actually is gratitude? Why is it important? 

Gratitude basically is thanking everyone for everything which you have in your life. You can thank GOD for the life it gave, you can thank the person who cook food for you, you can be thankful to your family, for the materialistic life you have and so on. It can be as small as thanking people around you and as big as thanking GOD. 

Gratitude is important because we often forget to give credits to the people. How many times did you thank your parents for the lifestyle you have? How many times did you thank the person who cooks for you? How many times did you thank your maid or your house help? How many times you thank GOD, for everything you have today?

Posting "I love you" on social media for someone who isn't there, is useless. Posting on social media is just an act of showing off. Why do you have to post "happy mothers day" with your Mom's picture on social media, when she doesn't even use social media? Isn't that a showing off thing? If you truly are thankful to someone, say it to them, not to the world (who doesn't care).

We human beings tend to forget things we must be grateful for. The farmers, who sow grains for us, the inventors of the technologies we use, the construction workers, the gatekeepers, the shopkeepers, the workers in the factory and everyone who makes our lives easy, and who works hard for their own survival, to earn money.  Here we are sitting in the comfort of our homes, in AC or Cooler in the hot 43 degree. 

Being grateful means you understand how much hard work goes behind all these small but hard works. Imagine, if there were no farmers, how would we get grains? If there were no labors, how would we get comfort? If there were no doctors or nurses, who would have treated you? 

Amitabh Bachchan is a renowned personality and when he tested positive for COVID-19, people all around the country were praying for him. But he thanked everyone for their prayers in a single message as he can't respond or reply to everyone. This is gratitude. Learn good acts from veterans.

Peeps, it's really easy to buy stuffs from money, but being grateful for the money you have is important. Being grateful for the talent you have, that you can earn money, is important. Being grateful to the people who made that possible, is important. Appreciating for what we had and what we have, is important. Appreciate the people you have in your life. Appreciate the world you live in. Appreciate the work you do. 

So, please be grateful for each and everything you have, for each and everyone you have. Appreciate people, for whatever effort they put in. Be kind to all the people from kids to your house helpers to your family members.

Take care peeps, until next time. Love♥️♥️
