Create A Reason To Be Thankful

We all have bad days. And on those really rough days, it is important to be able to reflect back as you are settling in for the night, and think about one bright spot or positive moment in your day. There needs to be something that you can be thankful for and to give you hope for a better tomorrow.

So when the world refuses to give you something to smile about or to take comfort in, it is your job to go out and create your own moment of happiness or success. It can be as simple as taking the time to smile at another person and see their face light up. Or taking the time to surprise a total stranger by holding a door for him or her. You might even choose to put your troubles aside and call someone you know is also facing challenges. Just the call to know that you care could change that person’s day. But in the end, all of these small but meaningful acts will bring happiness to another person and will also provide you with something to be thankful for at the end of your day.

Your kindness and empathy are a gift to someone else but also to you, as they afforded you a moment to connect with another human being and have a positive impact on their life.
