Be Thankful

Aum Sairam

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something
Cos' it gives you the opportunity to learn

Be thankful for difficult times
Cos' it is those times you grow

Be thankful for your limitations
Cos' they give you opportunities to improve

Be thankful for every new challenge
Cos' it builds your strength and character

Be thankful for the mistakes you make,
It's only then you learn valuable lessons

Be thankful when you're tired and weary
Cos' it means you've made a difference

It's easy to be thankful for the good things
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are thankful for setbacks

Gratitude can turn a negative to a positive
So find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
Cos, they can, and will become your blessings.
