Daily Motivation: Gratefulness

Be grateful for what you have; others wish they could have it too.

It’s easy to forget how to be grateful.

Many of us take what we have for granted. I’m part of that category too sometimes. But staying grateful for what we have should never leave our minds.

No matter where we are in life, there’s someone out there who probably wants it so bad. And here we are taking it for granted.

Take Medium for example.

There are many of us who have a great number of followers. Our work is published in publications on a daily basis. We are making a few bucks or more so from Medium.

There are others out there that probably wish they could.

They keep struggling to reach 100 followers, be published in a publication and make more than $0.08 a month.

And we take it for granted. Well no more.

It’s time to be grateful for what we have each day. One, because we are fortunate to have it. Two, because we don’t know how long we will have it.

Think of everything you have in life and be grateful for it. Never take it for granted.

Because there’s someone somewhere out in the world who wishes they could be just like you.

Be grateful for today.

We are not promised tomorrow.
