Gratitude, Thanksgiving and Happiness
Thanksgiving Day! I think it is great that we have a day to celebrate being thankful and grateful for all the treasures we have in our life. I read recently that people who are regularly thankful actually live healthier and longer lives. “Imagine that”! It makes total sense to me.
I have found that happiness is totally relative. It is a state of mind. I often hear people say things like:
- If I could have that car I would be happy
- If I had more money I’d be happy
- If I had a soul mate i’d be happy
- if i lived on the beach I’d be happy
- If my children would listen to me
- if, if, if …
In some places in the world, all it would take to be happy is to have a bite of food to put in your mouth. In other places, a gift of a palace wouldn’t suffice.
So what is my point? The point is that we can choose to be happy no matter what the circumstances. Happiness is a state of mind, not an effect of what we have or what we want to have.
Choose wisely, choose happiness and enjoy your life!
Happy Thanksgiving,
