I do not want to tell how hard it is to get up from bed in the morning, nor how hard it is to go
even to the toilet to wash your teeth. Neither, how hard it is to start a new day without having an
idea what you are going to do. I just want to focus on the fact that it would be very easy if we
start to think about it in a different way. Let's start thinking differently. When we wake up in the
morning and find ourselves breathing without having to spend our effort and time for it, or even
auxiliary devices and such things. It is certainly abundance (because if we only thought that our
breathing depended on us, what would happen when we sleep!!) We walk to the coffee box and
make a coffee for ourselves with our hands and eyes, that's abundance. Let's consider depression
for a moment. Let's look beyond it. We can always list problems, and there can be many of them,
but we can never count the abundance because they are countless. I never think that the pain of
the soul should be denied, we should accept it, but also the blessings that have been bestowed
should not be denied
We should balance between them. Life is like a fruit that is given to us as a whole, along with its
peels and seeds, but we remove the peels and other waste and taste the rest of the fruit. Let's
focus on the delicious part of fruit and not bother ourselves for seeds and peels. Just let's throw
them off. We should continuously remind ourselves about the good things we have and the good
things will be multiplied.
So let's start by saying, "Thank you, Lord, for the things you gave us," and the Lord will give us
the things we do not have. They will be multiplied. Gratitude is the formula. Here's a rule. When
you are grateful for what you possess, it is God's law to provide you with what you are seeking.
It's the most effective spiritual comfort that tranquilizes you right away. So, say to yourself for
even just a single day “Today I will not cry, today I will not be dreadful, today I will not look
into social networks seeing photos of other people who spread false happiness, today I will be
delighted with everything I have in my life, and at the end of the day I will say; "Thank you, O
Lord, this was a wonderful day". Everyone has the power within oneself to take away the clouds
in the sky and to light the sun with ones smile.
When you are in struggle with suffering, it tries to lower your morals by insulting you,
emphasizing your shortcomings, reminding you of your mistakes, mocking you by even
reminding you about an insignificant word that you said and which no one even remembers. But
your face is filled with blood and you lose your patience. No! Play in the same way, remind it
that your life is a bounty, you have parents, have friends, have children and family for whom you
are grateful, your stomach is full and you have a place to live in. Remind the suffering about
these when you are fighting with it. #greatful
