Being Grateful is the Word

Why would someone be angry? Jealous? Mad? Irrational? Emotional?.... What if you're grateful? Would you feel al the above?... If you're grateful of what you have, would you complain about what others have, and envy about the wealth of others?

As an example, lets say, if you have a friend, or a family member, whom his character is not upon your expectation. Or he acts to something that is beyond your patience limit. Do i say above?.. Do you complain about how unreasonable they are? Do you get frustrated when they are acting so? I don't know about any of you reading this, but I myself would sometimes feel so.

Humans are never satisfied, we would go do ANYTHING, to achieve our current goal, as an example, maybe owning a play station1. When we already own one, we tell ourselves, its time to get a better playstation. Which is PS2. And PS3 is on its way already. Humans tend to challenge themselves with harder things. We grow up, finding ourselves in situations, getting difficultier? Haha..more difficult i mean, each stage.

As an example, what is PMR, when you're facing SPM? wHAT is SPM? When you're at A levels. To you, the past is always easier. What if you face something similiar everytime? You would be bored..then you'll say..why can't i change job,change course, change life? Get something more interesting to do. Interesting= challenge, challenge= difficulites. And? You'll start complaining how difficult life is again, till you conquered the challenge, and what happens? Its all routine again.

IF you're grateful, you tend to look at things another way round!Did i just ask you to stop going for what you want to achieve? Did i just ask you to stay put at what you already have and don't chase for better needs or goal? In one way? No.. it is important to look for something more challenging to improve yourself. It is important to go for your dreams, aiming higher each and everytime. NOw everything goes contradicting. I thought i just said we should be grateful.. now i'm saying, it is important to improve or find tougher challenges.

This is when satisfaction comes in. Be grateful of what you have at the moment. And yet, aim higher for better needs. When you're grateful, you don't complain. WHen you're satisfied? You tend to have an easier life. When you're grateful, you won't envy others, but you'll be glad of what you have, and you will try achieving what others have. Without having depression, without having stress. You realize, you let go the burden in you.

Give it a try.. you'l see the difference. And nothing works overnight.. It always takes time to see the results and the consequences, the differences. Don't give up, be grateful and you'll see things differently..
