Gratitude

Gratitude is the ability to be thankful for what you have and to appreciate everything that’s basic like seeing, hearing, and breathing. Being grateful for your own life even when things aren’t exactly perfect is a very difficult task for some to manage. Gratitude is like a spark in a dark cave, being able to light up our lives and being able to make our sadness go away by being grateful for what we have. Gratitude is a very important virtue in my opinion because it allows us to be content with what we have and not be greedy and selfish and desire too many things that we don’t have the means to.

Gratitude can be put into our lives by appreciating the coupons, compliments, and kindness of strangers. Gratitude is a very important thing in our lives because it allows us to be cognizant of things that we should be thankful for that we normally wouldn’t appreciate. Being appreciative of the basic and simple things in your life can really help you understand that life is not all about buying expensive things. Appreciating the air you breathe, your eyesight, your friends and family, and other things helps you learn that life has much more beauty to it than buying the latest television. Gratitude to me is a foundational virtue that allows us to learn that living is not all about working and spending but also simply appreciating the good things in your life.

Gratitude can lead to more happiness which can lead to a greater appreciation and contentment with your own life. Being grateful means being able to love what you have and be able to ignore the monetary distractions of our money oriented society. Gratitude is so important in everyday life because being thankful for what you have lets you understand that there is much more to life than just constantly buying new gadgets all the time. So, before you go out and spend another thousand dollars on a new phone, take the time to appreciate how good your life already is.

Gratitude is a wonderful virtue to uphold and esteem and I believe it is my job to help people understand why and how it can be used as a virtue that lets others value and treasure their lives more. Gratitude is a beautiful thing to have and I hope that I was able to convince you of why it is so important and how it can help you lead a more complete and happy life. Gratitude is a wonderful thing to have. 

Being grateful for the simple things in life as well as taking the time to meditate is a wonderful thing to do and have. If you meditate, you will understand that life can be blissful even in the times of chaos and havoc. Meditation is something I do frequently because I like to be at peace with my life and not constantly fight with my circumstances and difficulties. I love being able to meditate because I enjoy the peace and joy it brings to me. I love being able to a live of happiness and contentment because those two things are worth more than a new phone. Technology is good, but satisfaction is better.
