The second "tude"-Gratitude!

How many times a day do you give thanks for everything that you are and everything that you have in your life? Once, twice, three times or maybe it is never? Well it is never too late to start and there is no better time to start than NOW!

I will make this very simple for you, by just concentrating on your immediate surroundings I bet you can identify 5 blessings to be grateful for. 

1. The ability to read  - you have access to the material I am sharing with you now because of the ability to read, count yourself fortunate as there are millions of people out there who do not have access to the learning resources to further expand their worlds by reading and bettering themselves.
2. The gift of Vision - closely linked to the first blessing is the ability to explore the world visually.
3. The gift of Laughter, imagine being unable to laugh and sharing the joys of your life's experiences.
4. I AM ALIVE and therefore I am grateful every single day my alarm goes off in the morning, I have lived to see another day and to enjoy it.
5. I have a computer/smartphone therefore my life is not that bad.

Moral of the story is: your entire life is a blessing and there are a lot of things we take for granted but should be grateful for. It is the simple things which make our lives worth living, a smile from a child or loved one, the warmth of the sun on your skin, your favorite natural smell, familiar sounds and voices. By living with an attitude of gratitude you possess the ability to rise to any altitude.
