On being grateful

When things are not turning out right,
when things are not happening the way we want,
when things are just going crazy and turn sour,

at least,
have a heart of gratitude.

be thankful that you're still alive,
for many people living on the edge of life
not knowing whether they'll wake up the next morning

be thankful that you still have a healthy body,
for many are suffering with pain and
struggling with end-stage diseases

be thankful that you still have a roof over your top,
for many are rendered homeless due to disasters

be thankful that you still have food to fill your stomach,
for many are living in hunger and poverty

and lastly, be thankful that you still have the wisdom of
gratitude, for this is the key to more abundance.

only through appreciation and thankfulness
that you're going to send out energy to the
universe that you like what you're getting
and eventually more will come your way.

This is how I, and in fact everyone of us, consciously or not,
manifested what we're today.

I'm forever grateful that I learned this early on, and this
has helped me manifested a lot of goodness in life. :)

May all beings be well and happy. ;-)
