Gratitude

This too shall pass, (but you get to determine how long it remains). It sure doesn't feel like "its" going to pass when you are in the throes of a dilemma or two, or a few, right? 

It's all about perspective in this life. There is always something to feel gratitude for even when you don't want to make yourself feel it. If you think you have nothing to be grateful for, be grateful that you are breathing. This means you are alive, you will overcome, you will learn, and you will thrive.

If you allow yourself to remain ungrateful, then you will extend your misery beyond what it needs to be. If you allow yourself to be grateful, your misery will be short-lived. You always get to determine either/or. <3
