Greetings @samminador, entertaining reading that you share with us, certainly in this life we must learn to be grateful, intentional, organized and planned, because through these processes we can achieve the desired success.
With respect to gratitude is that which allows us to see what we have actually managed to achieve throughout our existence, therefore we must learn to give thanks for the small and big things that God and life have been able to give us, things like family, children, wife, our house, our car, are aspects that we must learn to value and stop chasing unnecessary things that often take time and take us away from what is really important.
