.......there's so much to be grateful for, about life; so much to be thankful for, about our life situation.
Yet, at some point in our lives, we may have become 'forgotten' about gratitude; not that we weren't thankful - rather, the emotions of disappointment, despair, frustration, anger, failure, and a lot more other demoralising feelings had made us lose touch with what we should be happy about.
Those demoralising feelings somehow override the mind and took 'control' of our thoughts & feelings - What's seen ahead were just the cloud of bitterness, sadness and despair.
In those moments it's indeed hard to gaze above and beyond, to see what better possibilities are ahead or that we're in. The mind & heart had become preoccupied with things that clouded them from 'seeing' things in a better light.

The ability to pull back and reflect upon the whole canvas of life, to evaluate it with calm thoughts and honest willingness, would bring back the soul to the point where things can be reflected upon with a different shade of perspective.
......it then opens up a clearer picture of things: about the understanding of the journey we are going through; of the 'whys' we had seen things in a light that causes us those disappointment, despair, a sense of failure, and all those demoralising feelings, in the first place, that lead us to that state of losing that sense of gratitude.
To then come home to that sense of gratitude and that feeling of being thankful despite what aren't going our ways is indeed much more of an act of work that are taking much more effort than when life merely goes on in a bliss.
To have that capability to rise above and see things in great light of gratitude and thankfulness would certainly become part of our in-built resilience to take life differently at that point of moments, and therefore would give us that inspiration to thread life in a much calmer and sombre way; we acknowledge life as 'things' that are created or borne through our mind & feelings - and we began to understand that it is therefore in the mind and heart that we shall begin to make a difference in the way we feel and think about life.
That brings the soul into introspective, in reflective habits and we become much aware.
Awareness then becomes a new head trail, a new point wherein we lead our lives of 'discovering' the essence of gratitude & being thankful about life.
We indeed either inflicted that sense of bitterness unto ourselves - or we could begin taking things with an alms of gratefulness and in being thankful."
