9 reasons to little every day to say thank you

course, life does not always go smoothly: difficulties, sorrows and troubles are not true rarity, which is already there. In such situations, to get angry, and crying is normal. No one can be happy without interruption 24 hours a day. But even when things go awry, we can and need to find a reason for joy and say thank you to yourself, the people around the world - who want it.

Personal effectiveness coach Laurie Deschênes (Lori Deschene) knows at least 9 of these reasons. We are in the Website believe that it is largely right.

1. Everyone has something to teach us h3> Even those who cut in front of us on the ring, hardly selfish loony. Rather, it has turned out to be a busy day, and it is very hurry. Furious, of course, but it is an opportunity to learn patience and do not explode on trifles.

The one who broke our hearts, it is hardly a sadist who enjoys other people's suffering. He is a man, he also suffers. Yes, it hurts, but we learned a lot about ourselves.

Learning to think in this way is very difficult. It seems that some people are beyond good and evil, and only poison the life.

But now I know what a broken heart and a guy who cut in front of me - it is learned. They helped me become a stronger, wiser, kinder. If we agree to study, even at the worst, we grow over a.

2. In each test, there is something of value h3> learn not only people, but also the event. For example, the writer Barbara Ehrenreich (Barbara Ehrenreich) in his book "On the bright side," wrote that her cancer - it is a gift. I understand why.

Again, if sad, I am sad; if painful - cry. There is no need to push yourself feeling in the throat. However, even terrible things may be the beginning of the new bright events.

Several years ago, my grandmother died, and we were sorry that carried her so little time. But my big family there was a tradition: every week, my aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, brothers and sisters are going to "family night».

This great tradition was born out of our tragedy. We have learned to appreciate each other.

3. I was lucky: I have everything you need h3> Few people have anything he wants. But we hope to make of everything. We have dreams, goals and ambitions. We want to feel that we are moving forward and not roll down an inclined.

Despite all the ups and downs, most of us have everything you need. There is where to live and what to eat. There are people to whom you can turn for help. And most importantly - is the brain and the ability to achieve the goal.

Accomodation, food and friends - not given. Many have nothing.

Sometimes I think it's a tiny bit. But if I did not have anything at all, life would become much more difficult.

4. Little reason to rejoice - in fact, a great excuse h3> Can I say thank you for coloring for adults, Christmas tree and friends who come to the feast. For the new season of your favorite TV series, a hot bath and inexpensive but incredibly tasty sandwich for lunch. For my family, and the smell of meatballs on parental kitchen.

Let's not every day we find a new job, meet a lot of love, giving birth to a child or saving the world. Most joys - is the little things that we have been able to evaluate.

5. Optional all be all able to be happy h3> In today's thriving cult of "I," we must work as we can, to possess what one can and be a real specialist (preferably in several areas at once). You can not make mistakes, you can not miss the chance. We must break the goal!

Yes, nice to delete items from the list. And to buy whatever you want.

But even if we do not have accumulated millions and founded the giant corporation, we still live a full, fabulous life. Suffice it to assess how much has been achieved.

This does not mean you have to give up on the goals, to sit still and enjoy. But why wasting time on a crazy race? Each of us has already achieved a great deal, and it's a reason to say "thank you».

6. Everyone has their own happiness, and that's OK h3> We could not help compare ourselves with others, and often not in their favor: a childhood friend from the excellent work, a friend's ideal family. And we hurt. But life - no competition, there are no "backward».

We are all different: each has its own talents, interests, priorities and values. Everyone has their own way.

What is important for me is not necessarily meaningful to you. What is valuable to you, do not always valuable to other people.

You are happy because you have four beautiful children. And I'm happy because it is about to buy an aquarium with tropical fish and a cat. You rejoice because bought a stunning country house, and I am delighted with life in the big city.

That's right. It is important to appreciate her.

7. Everything can and will change h3> Every time I look at my dear man, I remind myself that it will not always be here. And I, too.

It sounds terrible, I know. I sometimes willing to hide in a corner, when I think about it. But once you admit it, it becomes much easier to see around and appreciate the good that there is.

This applies not only to the people. Not the fact that we have before retirement worked at the same place for the same salary or get carried away by the same hobby for life.

No matter how much try to err, things can and will change - for better, for worse there. And it is also an occasion for gratitude.

8. It could have been much worse h3> Yes, the cliché. And no one wants to listen to like, when life is falling apart.

I recently found a quote (I do not know who the author), "said the man, that he can not be sad because someone is worse - the same as saying that it can not be happy because someone better."

Bad - sad to health. But all can be overcome.

My grandfather lost both legs. He could give up, because many people in the world better, because they can walk. But my grandfather kept a sense of humor, he has remained faithful to its values ​​and lives surrounded by loved ones. It is enough.

9. Life itself is a gift h3> The world is full of people who help us learn and grow. We have everything you need. We have countless reasons to enjoy life.

That moment is unique. So, what is happening today is especially valuable, even if far from ideal.

And this brings us to the last and most important occasion to say "thank you»: life itself is a gift.

Thank you, dammit! Sincere thanks for all!
