The essence of real life

Why are some people grateful and others not? Is it because some people have had better experiences in life than others? If so, then why do so many people who have been through so much seem to have such thankful hearts; while others who have experienced a much easier life seem so ungrateful for it? 

 “When I’ll have a car? If only I have a car is not difficult if I want to go anywhere, why do we like the decrepit shack homes while our neighbors have the facilities and stately home?” 

That is piece of a sentence that either consciously or not, always comes out of our lips. We have always and always feel less alone, that's human nature to always be felt less by the gift that is given by God , and the lack of gratitude is to make the day-to-day lived far from being happy. Always restless, and people who behave thus less able to enjoy life. He was tormented by desires that are far from reality. An overwhelming desire not followed by hard work and smart, and too far from prayer.

           Age of a man is not long, very rare among us that in the given age until they reach the age allotted 80's or even 90's. On average we are only up to age 60's or less. Does that mean that short of age should be filled with things that are fun less?

We understand very much, how to please ourselves. How beautiful the days when we went through rations to replenish our life is filled with be grateful for all the gifts given by God. So that all the blessings that will always surround our lives.

How many people who think we are living happily with wallowing in wealth, the opposite of life, far from being restless and unhappy, one of the cause of it all is the lack of gratitude for the gift that is given to him. Because of that grateful for the favors of God is our duty. However, one must understand how to reflect our gratitude properly. Many of which reflect a sense of gratitude in a way contrary to the principles of gratitude itself, for example, there is a manifest gratitude by drunkenness, orgies, go where sinners, to forget their duty to another.

Try running the command of His earnest and sincere, that's a real gratitude. For that, go for the happiness and blessings with always be grateful to live with HIM, so that we can be classified as a grateful servant of Him. Truly, that's the essence of real life where we can appreciate our lives, always grateful for what we get.

Could it be that the way each of us is raised gives us our eventual perception of life and gratitude? Is our outlook based on the religious training we received at an early age? Did that help us develop an even stronger sense of gratitude to God and to others as we matured?

Maybe it's a combination of life experiences and events, that none of us will really know why we feel as we do when it comes to gratitude. Maybe it doesn't matter. In the end, ultimately what counts is that we either have developed a grateful heart and a thankful spirit or we have not.

As we approach the season of giving thanks and look back over our life, is there sufficient reason for us to be grateful? Do we sense that all of what we hold nearest and dearest truly has been given to us by God? Can it be that the steady reminders in Scriptures to be thankful also are reminders that encourage us to be grateful?

“If the only prayer you say in your life is ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you’ve been given. Gratitude shifts your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is already present. In addition, behavioral and psychological research has shown the surprising life improvements that can stem from the practice of gratitude. Giving thanks makes people happier and more resilient, it strengthens relationships, it improves health, and it reduces stress.

If we truly are thankful, then the spirit with which we live our lives will proclaim to God, and to the world, how grateful we are for all we have been blessed with in life. However little or however much that may be, let us each be thankful!
