That said in the title of this entry, I probably have much more to learn about being thankful and grateful for what I have.
Everyday is a learning process. Learning to remind myself to look at the bigger picture and not to let small annoyances grow on me.
Just like the public transport.
Every morning without fail, my blood pressure skyrockets because the bus is not on schedule or because the train breaks down. In most instances, I fail to see the bigger picture. I get mad. Very mad. I mean, we’re talking about a 20 minute wait for ONE bus during peak hour! Actually, let me be honest. I still can’t see the bigger picture for this issue.
Let me give you another example: Being able to meet fatbear after a day of hard work, being in his warm embrace and telling me that everything is gonna be alright….I’m thankful for that.
But of course, our relationship is not perfect. It’s a constant effort from both parties.
But I guess the moral of this short (and rather pointless) post is to ask you guys to start appreciating people and things around you. Things you have. I’m not asking you to be contented. Just…grateful.
A simple smile from the cleaning auntie.
A grin and a few words asking about how you are recently from the security officer.
Even when a stranger thanks you with a warm smile for helping them hold the door open.
Because everything works in the law of parallelism, the more you are grateful for things in your life, the higher the frequency of things happening that will make you grateful.
Am I making sense? :p
Good night and good morning! Till then.
