Gratitude

All of us experience anxiety and insecurity in some form from time to time.  It could be worrying over what turns life will take in the future or dreaming of being like that someone who seems to have it all.  Worry does help us to push ourselves to monitor our behavior and plan for the future, but it also brings unpleasant feelings that often never materialize nor render any benefit.

Although there is always someone doing better than us, there is also always someone who does not have what we take for granted.  Having the experience of not having something that most people take for granted will teach you to be grateful - most importantly, grateful just to be alive, well, and here today.

So I encourage everyone to take a moment, every so often, and be grateful for as many things as you can think of.  Being grateful is also being happy!
