Are you TRULY thankful of what you have in your life?

I think it is so easy to take what we have for granted, we only miss them when we haven't got them any more! We tend to spend our lives wishing for things we haven't got like money, a partner, a home, a car etc and we forget to be thankful for what we have already. I guess I am guilty here because I am fortunate to have food on my table, be able to afford to buy new clothes, pay for my car and there are so many people in this world who haven't got what I have. But it's hard to think that way and what we have got we disregard if we are desperate to have more, in some people this can become obsessional they want more and more and never happy with what they have which is a great shame. If only we stopped and thought about those who don't have what we have then we would be more grateful. It is a greedy society we live in and we have to be thankful what we have.

When your life is a big mess and you are confused what you really wanted out of yourself, can you still be thankful? And what is there to be thankful for? It's easy to be thankful if your life is going smooth and you are not facing a lot of problems. Right now, I'll keep my silence.

Well, looking back, I have been thru a lot of things I would never wish on anyone else. A lot of them though, are what makes me who I am today. I just think that anytime you are feeling Sorry for yourself, you really need to look back and think about where you have been, and where you could be. There are people out there who are where they have built for themselves, and then those who have gotten things they thought were never attainable. For me, everything that I have, I owe the thanks to God what he has brought me from, and I owe all my thanks to him.

i dun knoe i m kinda confused buh one things for sure we should b happy for what we already hab buh not to those things we are eager to hab byeee

Well I am thankful of what he gave me and I accept it.Yes my life now is ok and I can eat 3 times a day and that what it matters.Honestly,I am not really an active one but I just do believe that everything in my life has a plan.God bless and have a nice day

of course i am so truly thankful for what i have in my life even not all my hope is coming true, but i know someday God will be answer my pray. like this words if there is a will there is a way.

i might not have the richness and intelligence other people have, but i am thankful for everything that i have in my life. i have a lovely family, great friends and a boyfriend who trust and respect inspite of our differences. what more can i ask for? i have everything a woman needs to have a happy life.

To tell you the truth 2008 has totally sucked for me and hubby. Our health has been bad and finances are rough. I don't say thank you every day because I don't have alot to thank anyone about, but I do appreciate the fact that at least, our home and car are paid for and we have enough money for food, so that's more than some people have. I must remind myself to be more thankful of the important things like love, having a home and people who care about you. I just hope our health gets better and our finances.....but, yes, in the meantime, THANKS! for what I have now.

Hi there. Exactly. Being thankful and truly feeling the vibration of the meaning can be very rewarding, and this is personally speaking from my own positive lifestyle and experiences. Which is simply living by the laws of the "Universe", the law of attraction, in which I thoroughly enjoy. I also give thanks for many things, that have happened in my life, past and present and for many great things that are still coming into my life. You have an awsome day and keep on keeping on.

I am thankful everyday for all the amazing things in my life. From having the chance to work my dream job, to having an amazing man in my life. I also have two wonderful daughters, and my s/o has a teenage daughter and she and I get along well also. I still have my parents to talk to, even though we now live in different states. I'm also thankful for things such as my eyesight, hearing, and health. So yes, I am truly thankful for all that I have in my life and all the wonderful family I have in my life.

yes, i am truly thankful with what i have in my life. it's hard to explain why, but i am also thankful for all the hardships that i've been through. maybe because i learned a lot from them and they made me better. again, i am thankful for everything. but i admit that i am still longing for a lot more.

yes i truly thanks god ... that he gave me a wonderful life which is fulfill with happiness ... =] and enjoyment =] thank you god ... =]

am very glad with what i have in ma life..there may be some ups and downs but i have never worried about my downs and always hoping on some new changes of ma life ...am really thankful to god for such a good life with ma pleasant thoughts..

Of course i do,I am thankful what i have in my life now,husband,family and good life.Me and my husband is not rich but we have a good life.And i am thankful for that many people now who cant eat and even have a good shelter.I felt sorry for them .I always have a dream when i will be millionare (if i will) I will help all poor people in the world .

Honestly I am not too satisfied with my life.. I cannot spent my time with my parents. They are too busy with their work until they forgot that they have a daughter. I know they work because of me but they are too much! Always leave me alone at home.. I do belive what you think. That is why I will say I love my mom when she come back from work anmd say thanks to my dad when he got home..

I agree with you 100%! I always try my hardest daily to be grateful for eveything I have in my life.Especially when things seem to go wrong,or I am having a bad day,These are the times when being grateful/thankful mean the most. Sometimes, my husband can get real down and start complaining about things and I have to help uplift his spirits and make him realize that things are never as bad as they seem.I talk to him to remind him of all of the positive things going on in his life and eventually he tells me he is feeling better.And, as I am telling him, I find it is also giving me a good feeling too.As I recall all the great things that I am blessed with. I think sometimes if people just take a few minutes, when things seem to be going bad for them, to just think about all of the blessings that they heave.Things that people dont really think about.Like for example, their health, their families' health, their senses,or freedom,or even the fact that we are alive is something to vbe thankful for! We can find so many things that we normally take for granted to be grateful for if we just think about it.

I really am very thankful that I have a chance to live without any wars, I have enough money for food and a house. There are many many people who have none of those things. I'm also happy that I sometimes can help those people.

Inspite of the hard and tough times we have with each of our lives, I am very grateful for the life that God has given me, I believe that this is the way the Creator has in mind for me, and everything we do in this life has a magnificient purpose. Constantly, I always prayed to God for the life He gave, and asks his guidance in our day to day living. Life is good ! *Smile always *

I am thankful for the wonderful life that I live and the things and people that my life has afforded me. And I too feel blessed. But I feel that most of the things that I have or people that are in my life are a direct result of my hard work and diligence for obtaining and maintaining the life that I live. In other words I can be thankful all day,everyday but unless I continue to work hard for what I have and what I want, it will soon disappear.

of course. im thankful i have my daughter with me, though im separated with my ex for 9 years. being a singlel mom is not a joke but im happy with whats happening i hve peace of mind and stress free.
