Gratitude Matters

You are grateful not because things are perfect in your life. You are grateful because things are not perfect. You are grateful for your life, for what you have, for what is going well, for what is not going well.

You are grateful not because you are perfect, but because you are still alive to make things better, to improve yourself. You are grateful for your life not because you have everything, but because you are still here to chase what you want for yourself.

You are grateful for your life because life is a gift. Life is love. You are grateful because you have the courage to face what you are not comfortable with. You are grateful for your life because you are getting better every day. And you are grateful for your life because you still have a day or two to write your own story.

Before you go, no matter what you are facing right now, if you want to defeat it, choose gratitude. Because gratitude matters.

‘Stop Stopping Yourself’

Life is a journey. You are going somewhere. Do not focus on where you are right now, focus on where you are going. Do not focus on what is going on in your life right now, focus on what you are becoming.

Life is not perfect. And do not expect yours to be perfect. You will experience things. You will face obstacles. But if you do not forget yourself, you can defeat them.

Do not settle for anything less than you are worth. Do not settle for anything average. Because you are not an average person. You are a complete human being. You deserve to be treated as such.

‘If you want to be successful in your life, you must stop limiting yourself.’

Do not limit yourself. Stop telling yourself things that are not helping you. Instead, focus on what you can do to make your life better. And there are lots of things you can do. You can start by exposing the things that you think are holding you back. Do not fear. Let them out. Let the world see what you have been going through alone.

According to Ozan Varol, ‘To expose your self-imposed limitations, take extreme action. Go for a moonshot you don’t think you’ll achieve. Ask for a raise you don’t think you deserve. Apply for a job you don’t think you’ll get.’ In other words, just do something new, something you have not done before. Just get out of your safe zone. When you do that, the way you do things will change.

If you want to live a better life, a peaceful life, you must ‘stop stopping yourself. Open the door and leave.’
