In our recent gathering in the community, we all had the chance of sharing with one another what currently is our struggle on areas such as practicing genuine gratitude, and being present on the here and now moment. Today I would like to share with you my sentiments on gratitude as well as on what I have heard from my fellow members of the community.
Somehow it is a common experience that being grateful is neglected or forgotten on several instances in our everyday life. This happens due to many reasons like being so preoccupied with things, or being not at home with expressing one's gratitude, or just the simple reality of being ungrateful.
Personally I would say that this is our choice whether we will be grateful or not to everything that happens to us everyday. Moreover I observe that we become ungrateful when we are discontented of our own selves or that instead of recognising our own giftedness, we rather choose to focus on what others have and consequently, we start to become envious (rather than being grateful) on them.
Thus it is a calling for us that in our day to day life, we may become grateful to everything that comes to us. We keep in mind that this LIFE is but a borrowed one and soon or later, we will return it to its rightful owner and we can give back the kindness by taking care of it.
PS: Thanks to our community led by our active leader Bro. Jose and to the rest of the team: Bro. Reddy, Bro. Arnold, Bro. Danny and to Bro. Boying whom we missed on this session. Shoutout to all of you Brothers.
