Being grateful for the things you have in your life makes you a happier person, go figure. If you can sit down for five minutes and simply concentrate on the things that you are truly thankful for once a day every day, then you will see your life change completely. Being happy takes work, but it is not hard work. The more work you put into your happiness, the easier it is. Every good thing in life takes work. So here is a list of the things I am the most grateful for.
1. My parents!
Of course, I am grateful for my parents. They raised me. I am the person I am today because of them. They have never given up on me no matter all the different things life has thrown at me and us.
2. My sister!
She's a brat, but she is also my biggest fan. She keeps me in check. My sister is my rock through every little thing.
3. My education!
Education is the one thing no one can take away from me. The one thing my parents sacrificed so much for. My education means the world to me.
4. My health!
I am a healthy young adult. I do not have any health concerns, and sometimes I forget how lucky I am for that.
5. My faith!
My faith has helped me get through some tough times. Whenever I am losing hope, and I think things are gloom and doom, I simply turn to my faith and all is restored.
6. My hijab!
My hijab has earned me so much respect and so much ridicule. My hijab is a security blanket for me, and it has made me stronger and feel more protected.
7. My laptop!
My laptop has kept me away from begging for computers or for going to computer labs only to find a computer. I can go wherever I want that has wifi and use my laptop happily and place it right on my lap.
In this world of ours, there is so much to be grateful for. So seek out the things you are grateful for and slowly watch your life be full of happiness.
