attitude of gratitude

In the 21st century we all are very busy in chasing our dreams but we get so engrossed in this race that we forget to thank the universe for the things which we already have .
the two words, THANK YOU are so powerful and magical that only by listening to these words it could bring a smile on the face of anyone who hears them.
Don't believe me? try this-
thank the cab driver for helping you reach your destination safely or thank the shopkeeper for giving you whatever you had asked for. the smiles that you see on their faces is worth a million dollar.
we should learn to make peace with ourselves. be satisfied with all what you have. we shouldn't keep cribbing about the things which we don't have. remember that the life which you are living and the things which you have and seem ordinary to you might be a dream for someone.
do one thing every morning , just when you open your eyes in the morning thank the god for good health,your parents,your possessions and you will be showered with happiness and good feelings. Help the disabled his smile will be your payment.
Are you unhappy because you don't have a valentine on this valentine's day? some people don't have a father on father's day and some don't have a mother on mother's day. so don't complain.
A few lines i would like to share which have helped me develop the attitude of gratitude- a well known football player said that when he was eight years old he cried because his parents didn't buy him a new pair of shoes and that very day he saw a man with no feet and felt thankful for having them.
being grateful for what i have and striving hard for achieving what i want is the mantra of my life. :) <3
