Gratitude is Important

Have you ever counted your blessings and been considerate to consider how fortunate you are in your present life? Things we always crib and criticise about for “Have Not’s” and for those you tried your exemplary best but didn’t able to achieve….

You need to take a 360-degree holistic approach to ponder and process these thoughts…one side view of your life cannot be a mitigation to arrive at a definitive conclusion.

If you are hale and hearty, healthy and in right frame of mind, even if you are not well accomplished in your career , business or earning but able to somehow balance things out – consider yourself to be the luckiest being on this planet – for the matter I have seen many ‘Successful Professionals’ cribbing at the peak of their career and have lost their health – having BP , Diabetes , are in depression of losing their sought-after job and accomplishments which they so famously announced when they achieve it…internally they know, they have lost the plot and are more unsuccessful than the rest of the beings but cannot elucidate their predicament due to societal pressure – talk to them in person and they will ‘Pour their heart Out’ as to how they feel to be living under stigma of a broken relationship or a divorce, health issues and kids not listening to them and in fact abusing them… the loneliness creeping in with no Real friend for guidance and support BUT many minions  pumping your ego….

If you have caring family with a loveable wife, kids and you live with your mother and father ..consider yourself living in Grace…as this is a rare sight now a days, people are preferring nuclear families and don’t want to accommodate their elderly parents in their ‘Modern Life’ – oblivious of the fact that once they were too young to stand on their own feet and were taken care of in all spirit by these very parents who now are themselves grown old and cannot take care of themselves… this is the biggest irony of our society in current times….but its happening…

Finally , if you have no debt and are living an ‘Emi-free’ life, and have no major repayments lined up for decades…consider yourself to be thankful towards your elderly….for their sweat and blood has made you the man free from a debt trap – as most of the working professionals have engulfed themselves for 20-30 year marriage to the Banks….and have gone bananas …surely they want super luxury lifestyle and big flashy homes to showcase their success to all and sundry who hardly care about their living…. Just a ‘Vow’ moment for them and life moves on…. The decade ahead burden of paying high cost emi’s rest with poor soul who ends up paying more than the ‘Double’ amount to the bank to suffix his loan….

These are basic tenets of nowadays living …. If you have somehow steered away from all these anomalies of life…you are lucky, have gratitude towards Life and the Divine…. Consider you may not but that is and will remain an internal truth…a time will come when surely you will realise this….till then…”Happy Living…!”
