can not be grateful

I think you are saying you won't be grateful because you are resentful of your current circumstances. Remember, things can always be worse. Make yourself realize some of those 'worse' scenarios and you will have reason to be grateful.

Hi,there.. You sounded like you're in some big problem.. Why can't you be grateful? Aren't you grateful that you are still alive? You know what, everyone is busy dealing with their own problems in life. You're not alone but I say to you, you must not feel that way. You must be grateful with the little things that is going on with your life now.. By negative thinking, you are just getting yourself down.. I hope you'll feel fine sooner.. Have a great day!

Most of the comments above are true. There are so many things in life that you should be grateful for, even for having an imperfect life. I learn this from my own experience, I always thank God for giving me life full of challenges. Learn to fight the miseries that you experienced, don't let your son's life be miserable as well. If you are happy, then your son will also be happy. Be thankful for what you have even if you think it's making you unhappy. What you should do is to learn how to cope up with all those things and make them into something that will make you and your family happy.

Is there nothing you have that you can be grateful for? I think it does help a lot to be grateful for at least something. If you dont have kids you love or a significant other or a pet or just something you can take some kind of joy in maybe just be greatful to be alive. It could help maybe? I do hope u cheer up though.

What happened to you, you never have to have, what you have now. You are afraid to do anything, because you are afraid. You have to start thinking about your own, do not think about others.

hi, for me that grateful in life meaning is being contented on what i have in my life,no matter what it is i should have to be grateful and everything and happening in my life.even sometimes we feel empty and difficulties there are always a side to make us happy and complete.

sometimes i feel like this when i have problems. but when i think about the other people, those people who lives under the bridge, the people who begs for coins, and others, i said, i should be thankful to God that i still live this way. that i have a job and happy family. though there are really times problem comes to us, but this is really something to be grateful.

Instead of continually being unhappy which can in the long run distroy your health. What can you do to change things so you can be happy???

So, you are saying that you have NOTHING to be thankful for in your life. Is that right? Life totally makes you miserable. You don't have a place to sleep, food to eat, hot and cold running water, parents that love you. None of those things, right? Now that would be miserable.

Mylot makes you miserable? Your son makes you miserable? Having a house to live in makes you miserable? Having electricity makes you miserable? I might be wrong to question about your son, but the meaning of the statement is to focus on the things you have, that you can be grateful for. I am aware that you suffer from many difficulties in your life, family, husband, situations and so on, and these are very serious issues for you. I believe the same as the person that told you to be grateful and you will find happiness, it is part of it, be grateful for the things you are grateful to have. The main part is freedom, the key to happiness is freedom, and the key to freedom is courage. I am not aware of how much freedom you can grant yourself, but I know you are free to choose to dwell on the good or the bad in your life, choose to dwell on the good and the bad will improve. At least those are my thoughts, Sincerely and With Appreciation.

With no thank you, means you do not believe in the existence of God. God gives much to be thankful. God will not make anything in vain. If you're in trouble, God must have a reason. You should take a lesson, for the problems you face Believe in Allah, surely your path will become easier.

hi, indah, actually I agree with that statement... if you want to be grateful, you have to feel thankful.but when we stuck into problem, we forget how to enjoy life and become so thankless. I understand what you feel, but feel suffering and give up can help you anything.if you feel tired, have a rest for a while, out of your activity and take a vacation, meet new people with new atmosphere.breath in fresh new air help your heart to be much more relax, dear I have problem too anyway, but I'm tired to give up.I keep motivate my self and believe that bright way will coming true

Learn to always look on the brighter side. Do not focus yourself just on the side of the problems. Don't limit your sight on a single dimension. Think of all what you have right now. Are you not grateful for having them? We all experience tough problems so you should not put all the blame on you. And if the problem still seems to be heavy, lean on God. I promise He'll lend a hand on you. :)

All the problems we face, it makes us very desperate, and make us forget, for pleasure, and all that we already have, so that makes us forget to be grateful. What is needed, so we are always grateful, is the power of faith, and always pray to God. I am sure, you people who are very capable, to always be grateful.

indahfth you are one very intelligent woman who makes some really great discussions and I feel you are almost too giving and people you love are not as giving t o you as they should be. so know that you can be proud of you for being compassionate and loving. I think if you are miserable with what you have right now, its time to seel if some things can be changed to make it much better for you. Life I am afraid is not ever fair. three years ago I was happy and unaware of bad things to happen to me and myson, it all was ve ry unfair but it happened. he lost his job, we got behind in the rent so were evicted, we were the only family we had my adult son and I so we were made homeless and as I was 82 then and diabetic my son said he felt I should be off the streets so here I am in Gold C rest retirement c enter paid for by my social security and my SSi checks each month. He finally got free apt from Homes america and now has a job and is in transitional housing he pays 240 a month. I am stil here and while I hated b eing here I had to be here as there was no where else to go. I learned t o be happy and you can do that too.just thank God for what you have , and what you do enjoy as looking at the positive helps bring more positive things your way .

My friend , it seems that you are carrying a heavy load.You can seek advice from your friends on whatever problems you are having right now.I know they are willing and also bear in mind that the Guy up there won't give you a challenge if you can not handle it.Believe in yourself and you can surpass anything that comes your way.

Hi indahfth! Sometimes people do not understand that sadness is not something one can change like the light switch. You can turn on and off your emotions simply because you want them to. I can at times understand that yes while a lot of things make us miserable and unhappy there are those with life threatening diseases that are far worse, so it is easy for someone to say to you and or me that we should be grateful. I believe you are grateful indahfth, I don't think this is what is hurting you. You are a good person and you do believe in helping others. You have put the needs of others before you own. This is partly the reason for your sadness. Do know that although you have put your needs before others and are so sad in life, some day indahfth, you will be very blessed with happiness. Sad that we cannot reach that happiness when we want it. Do not feel bad that someone does not understand your feelings. Know that you are a really good person as you have been devoting your life for others. I do not find you ungrateful, just going through a really hard time in life. You are in constant prayer so I know you are not ungrateful. You are HUMAN, and part of being human is having feelings.

Would this stop you from saying that you cannot be grateful? Be grateful before everything is taken away from you....Do you have a gratitude journal? If you dont have one get one. Write down whatever grateful things that you receive like you get to drink, eat, shower, walking, typing etc etc. write a few things a day that you are grateful of than you can add more or naturally you will get to see all the things that you should be grateful about. Do your part and i do mine.

Yes, it is true indeed that if you want to be happy you should be thankful for all the blessings that comes your way. There may be things or something that you want that you don't have right now so you will feel that there is nothing to be thankful for but if you try to reflect more there are many things that you can be grateful for. First is the life that you have right now, the healthy body that you have, you heart that pumps every second every day, never ceasing even when you are asleep. You have the brain that lets you think and do mental activity. You have the voice to speak. Try to look around you, the flowers and tress, the mountains and birds, they are wonders to behold and they are there for us to enjoy. If you cannot be happy in spite of this, create your happiness. Do something that you really want no matter how silly it is as long as it is not dangerous or illegal. And then when you do that you will be able to feel grateful. Life is short so you have to make the most of it and be happy always!
