Maintain an Appreciative Attitude
Appreciative attitude usually pave way for a successful future of a person, we are surrounded by people who are haughty and unthankful, attitudes that can rub off on us.
In addition, we may feel compelled to cram more and more activities into our already hectic lives. We could become so burdened by problems or engrossed in pursuing our own interests that we do not have time to appreciate what we already have or to express appreciation for what others do for us.
What Can You Do?
Make time to meditate on the good things you now enjoy. Granted, you may feel over-whelmed by problems. But consider the example of King David. He at times felt crushed, his heart numbed by trials. Even so, he prayed to God: "I have meditated on all your activity; I willingly kept myself concerned with the work of your own hands.
Think about what others have done to help you, and express appreciation for their efforts. This little form of act goes a long way, it will encourage them to help you more next time.
Some appreciate the family, friends, or other blessings they have only after those are lost. You can avoid that sad outcome by reflecting on the good things you now enjoy! Why not make a mental or a written list of the things for which you are grateful?
Since "every good gift" originally comes from God, we do well to express our thankfulness to him in prayer. Regularly doing so can help us maintain an appreciative spirit and cultivate contentment. So to humans, learn to be appreciative.
