Be Grateful

Be grateful for the things you are given. Be proud of the things you have earned. Never stop giving and never stop working towards your goals.

Simply put there are two categories of things in life. When someone gives you something be appreciative. Let them feel good about giving it. In turn you will have to continue to earn their admiration. Really all gifts must be earned in some manner for them to truly have meaning. Christmas is a great holiday. Everyone loves giving and receiving presents. But most of the things we give are simply used up and cast aside.

I am not sure what I want to do with my life. I think that is okay. I'm going to continue trying things and figuring it out. What I know is that I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given and I am proud of the strides I have made as a person. I have learned a lot about myself while working in a hospital. It requires a great amount of patience to attend to sick people. I think it is a constant lesson. Put yourself in the bed. How would you treat the people who are helping to mend your wounds? I hope I would be as courteous as I should. Despite any condition I might be in.

Gratitude is becoming a lost facet of our society. A lot of us have developed the deserve mentality. You don't deserve shit that you have not earned. Anything you are given you better be damned willing to reciprocate or pass it on in order to earn that gift. All of this has been said before and it will be said again. It is important for ME to say it in order to fully digest what it means.

Thanks mom and dad. Thanks brothers. Thanks anyone that ever gave me a kind word to boost my confidence. I am grateful for you.
