ONLY THE GRATEFUL SUCCEED

Imagine how tough the job could be when all one does is receive requests again and again....very few "thank you's" and an abundant amount of "please". It has a way of killing internal peace. I personally will feel unduly taken advantage of.

We live in a world where being content is "not cool". We fail to understand that we are uniquely endowed for unique purpose and that getting what we want is tied to our ability to use or develop what we have.

So what we see is the fat starving to become slim, the slim over eating to become fat, the black in a desperate attempt to become white, the short wanting height, the tall craving a reduction...such that reconstruction of every and anything is such a big business.

Its time we pause and be grateful for who we are and where we are...only then can we see that every dark cloud has a silver lining.

When you are grateful with what you have, you can make better use of it regardless of how little or how large because just as there is a curse attached to mismanaged abundance, there is also a curse attached to ignoring the little.

Gratitude increases positivity and fuels creativity and that is what inspires people to succeed despite the obvious limitations while ingratitude does the exact opposite.

It is hard to start with what you have when you do not even appreciate what you have. In essence, if you can learn to be grateful with what you have and who you are, you can easily create a success of it.
