Be Thankful

in #poetry7 years ago

An unknown author shows you the many things we at times don't appreciate.

I was trying to find some good reads and stumbled upon this and couldn't help keep my eyes from reading. There isn't much I can tell you about this author for he is unknown, but the words definitely motivate you to crave what is needed and appreciate what you do have.

For your inspiration – Thankful Poem

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,

for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.

During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,

because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,

because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.

They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,

because 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 also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,

and they can become your blessings. ~Author Unknown

Thank you, for this, @Joseph.

I think good things happen when we are accepting and grateful of all life offers us.

On the flip side, here’s a piece on The Toxicity of Complaining I think you’ll appreciate:
