Take 60 Seconds to Be Grateful

We all know what is going on around us, news, tragedies, deaths and it makes you cringe and avoid news and headlines.  What is interesting is that a lot of us - the lucky us - the ones who have a good job, health, and plenty of friends - perceive that they, too, have it bad.

You know if you are someone who can pay your rent, feed your family, do your job and still be healthy enough to exercise, yes, You!

Instead of being stressed out that your boss is a jerk, your salary too low, your deadlines too short, blah, blah, blah...

Try stopping for a minute at the end of this article and just being grateful.

I'm not trying to get all touchy feely on you, but let's face it. You're not running for your life. Your home wasn't just destroyed. All that and more happened to many people last week.

Work is nothing. It is not life-threatening. Even your worst day at work is better than any day as a refugee.

And Yes, we know we have bad days and we have a right to be dissatisfied. We can have goals and aspirations, sure, but all the while we are pursuing them we should also be eternally grateful for the blessings we have enjoyed.

As I previously shared on my post  Blessings and Thankful Jar, I want you not to be one of those people who takes blessings for granted. I hope you feel the same way,  and give yourself a 60 Seconds to Be Grateful.
