The Gift of Appreciation ©


                   The Gift Of Appreciation
You could have all the gifts in the world, and get everything you ask for, but if you’re not blessed with the gift of appreciation, all those gifts are equivalent to nothing. It’s so sad to know, that a lot of people aren’t blessed with that gift of appreciation, and they only end up wanting more and more. So if I need to do anything, it’s to thank god for this wonderful gift he gave me. Everyone has a gift inside them. Those who appreciate it, focus on that gift, and really make something of themselves in life. Those that don’t appreciate it don’t know it’s there. They waste their time being jealous of other people and their talents and gifts. You could have the best thing in the world, and not know it, simply because you don’t appreciate it. Then it’s taken away from you, and you learn the hard way. The gift of appreciation defeats all other gifts on this earth. Appreciation is the thin line between enlightenment and sadness. Unlike other tangible gifts, the gift of appreciation brings forth other gifts like love, and life into your daily experience. You will never be happy, if you don’t appreciate things. I know for a fact, everyone is doing what they are doing, to attain happiness. They want this, and that, and wish for a change of conditions, and all that stuff. That’s not how you attain happiness. To attain happiness, you have to appreciate what you have; instead of torture yourself with constantly wishing you had something. The one thing you need to appreciate most in life, are the dark times that god puts you through. They are the times when you feel most ungrateful. God does things for us, not to us. So next time you’re going through a dark time, thank god, for he is only trying to make you better, not bitter. Happy Thanksgiving :)
