Everyone always says to be grateful in life, it’s something I’ve mentioned a couple of times on my blog as well. I truly think you cannot grasp the essence of life if you don’t feel a certain amount of gratitude towards it. However, it’s not a step that is easily achievable or comes organically depending on your situation. In today’s post, I wanted to share with you some ways that will allow you to be grateful in life. As always, if you are interested – keep on reading!
Tout le monde dit toujours d’être reconnaissant dans la vie, c’est quelque chose que j’ai mentionné à quelques reprises sur mon blog également. Je pense vraiment que vous ne pouvez pas saisir l’essence de la vie si vous ne ressentez pas une certaine gratitude envers elle. Cependant, ce n’est pas une étape facilement réalisable ou qui vient organiquement selon votre situation. Dans le post d’aujourd’hui, je voulais partager avec vous quelques moyens qui vous permettront d’être reconnaissant dans la vie. Comme toujours, si vous êtes intéressé, continuez à lire !

STOP LOOKING FOR MEANINGS & REASONS
We all look for reasons when certain things happen to us. Why did this happen to me? Why did I make that choice? Why didn’t I do this? By trying to find answers to those questions, it only clouds our minds from seeing the main truth which is to live in the moment.
I do believe that certain things happen for a reason which I know I’m contradicting to what I said previously but there is no point in trying to find a bigger meaning to something that is meaningless. Not everything has to have a reason or meaning behind it, some things are just there to show you to enjoy each moment you were given to.
Nous cherchons tous des raisons lorsque certaines choses nous arrivent. Pourquoi cela m’est-il arrivé ? Pourquoi ai-je fait ce choix ? Pourquoi n’ai-je pas fait cela? En essayant de trouver des réponses à ces questions, cela ne fait que brouiller nos esprits de voir la vérité principale qui est de vivre dans l’instant.
Je crois que certaines choses se produisent pour une raison pour laquelle je sais que je contredis ce que j’ai dit précédemment, mais il ne sert à rien d’essayer de trouver un sens plus large à quelque chose qui n’a pas de sens. Tout ne doit pas nécessairement avoir une raison ou une signification, certaines choses sont juste là pour vous montrer que vous devez apprécier chaque instant qui vous a été donné.

PRIORITISING YOUR GOOD INSTEAD OF YOUR BAD
By focusing on our bad things which are our bad moments, painful memories, flaws and weaknesses, we are only allowing those things to take control over us. Gratitude doesn’t come by turning a blind eye on them, it comes when you start to accept them and shift your focus on your good things instead which are your strengths, qualities, happy memories, loved ones, etc.
En nous concentrant sur nos mauvaises choses qui sont nos mauvais moments, nos mauvais souvenirs, nos défauts et nos faiblesses, nous permettons seulement à ces choses de prendre le contrôle sur nous. La gratitude ne vient pas en fermant les yeux sur eux, elle vient quand vous commencez à les accepter et à vous concentrer plutôt sur vos bonnes choses qui sont vos forces, vos qualités, vos souvenirs heureux, vos proches, etc.

NOT COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS
It’s in our human nature to compare ourselves with others but that doesn’t mean it’s something unstoppable. By comparing ourselves with others, it only makes us resent our own lives and create unnecessary bad emotions about our own circumstance. You will never feel grateful for the precious things you have in your life if your eyes are constantly drawn into another person’s things which might not even be precious to them.
C’est dans notre nature humaine de nous comparer aux autres, mais cela ne signifie pas que c’est quelque chose d’irréparable. En nous comparant aux autres, cela ne fait que nous en vouloir à notre propre vie et créer de mauvaises émotions inutiles à propos de notre propre situation. Vous ne vous sentirez jamais reconnaissant pour les choses précieuses que vous avez dans votre vie si vos yeux sont constamment attirés par les choses d’une autre personne qui pourraient même ne pas lui être précieuses.

I struggle with gratitude very often – failing to see the little wins or beautiful moments along the way to something “grand and beyond the boring everyday life”. And to everyone who’s like me, I’d say – these 3 tips are great – just develop the patience to implement them in your life and it’ll come. It’s a very challenging task especially if you’re a nervous and ambitious person. Once you start noticing the good all the time – it’ll be there for you more often than you expect it. I’d add to this – start a gratitude journal/ list and add to it often – you’ll be amazed at the results! 🙂 x
On point. Lyrics to a favorite song :’ I won’t ask you for reasons, for reasons don’t wipe away tears.’ Total game changer..
Gratitude is hard for me. I am trapped in the past which held very crappy moments. I am sometimes reliving the pain I felt. It seems the bad memories are strangling the good ones, the last ones become harder to recollect.
Nice post

This is a topic you don’t like to talk about Which is the one I recommend it
I actually took a long break from blogging (still deciding if I’m going to return) studying astrology and the philosophy behind it. Much of it is covered. I may do a series on how to actually interpret it.
It’s all in timing techniques, your life is written out into chapters with sub chapters where some is in your control while others are not. It’s tied to hermeticism and some stoicism also referenced in Ancient Greek philosophy. Life isn’t senseless, there’s a purpose, and there’s very little control over it. You can control how you deal with it.
Cancer new moon, new lune. Fitting post for it.
