As a young adult in this world I have found it easy to become consumed in your life to the point you forget how lucky you are to be living and breathing each day. Your major projects, and bad days make you forget the small things that you should be thankful for. Even when times get rough, or when you feel as though the world is against you. Always remember that tomorrow is a new day everyone has reasons to be happy and thankful, after thinking about reasons why I am thankful and asking close friends and family for what they are thankful for as well I have created a list of things that I believe everyone should be thankful for in life.

The lists of reasons on why you should be grateful are never ending but I hope that you understand the point I am making. Being positive and just glad to live another day on this beautiful planet is always a reason to be happy. People tend to get so caught up on the small things in life that in a few months from now those small things will no longer matter. It is easier said than done, but when you start to live happy you find yourself healthy on the inside and outside. You sleep better, you aren’t as tense and life is easier to handle. As humans it is very common to lose the thought that “everything is going to be okay” we should learn to relax and focus on the positives and leave the negatives out. Once you think about why you should be thankful and what to be thankful for you turn into a happier version of yourself.
