Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!

This is my first blog on Thanksgiving. Not because I dont think about it, it was just that I never felt or took it so seriously until this year-2020. Why? We all know why even the minute things matter to us these days.

Covid-19 has thought us that ‘Life is unpredictable’ and one needs to ‘Live in the Moment- nor in the past nor in the future’. We all knew this or would say have come across this lots of time, but we haven’t consider it so seriously. After this pandemic we have started realising that these things are important and needs to be taken seriously.

On occasion of Thanksgiving, think about what you are grateful for? What you would like to Thank for? Yes I agree that first thanksgiving to be giving to God/Almighty/Universe for blessing us to see this day. For giving us food, water and shelter. For giving us friends and family. We may not be rich or millionaire like few but we have shelter and food and water then yes we are rich. We are thankful for having a job which pays our bill, parents who love us unconditional, partner who supports us and friends who are there when we need. Most important we should be thankful to the nature who despite been destroyed daily by Humans, we are still breathing fresh air.

I want you all to do small activity starting from today. Everyday, make a list of 5 things in the day which you are thankful for. Let the list be as crazy as it may look to others or foolish, it doesnt matter unless it makes you happy. Do this activity when you get up from your bed or when you go to sleep. If you want you can do both times that’s upto you. throughout the day, when you start feeling down or get in the negative thoughts or into being insignificant, open these 5 things. I am sure your perspective will change. Your mood will improve and you will look at things in a different manner. Ensure when you write it has to be from the bottom of your heart. You need to write as if you are feeling it. Donot write just for the heck of writing. Write because you feel it.

I am Thankful to the Life that Universe has given to me where everyday I am trying my best to contribute back to the Mother Nature. I am thankful to have shelter, food and water. Most important I am thankful to the Universe and my Ancestors who have always been with me and protected me in someway or the other. Lastly but not the least and above all, I am thankful for my Mom who has always giving me tremendous love and support.

Its all about being grateful. We always live like complaint box. Even myself. Everyday I complain about not being great or perfect or upto the mark. I complain about things or situations not changing or improving. I complain how God can be so unfair to me and others (which I still think HE is but now it doesnt matter to me), How my life situation never improves and how I come across same thing or situation or people despite I try my best to stay away from it. All this I realised it today that what a fool I have been all these 15 years. I failed to focus on the things that I am good at and focused on things that was not me. Hence I decided why not going forward from today, I focus on those that I am good at even though others might not find suited to them. And see what I came across-Thanksgiving Day!!

So what are you Thankful & Grateful for?
