Gratitude leads to happiness.

(PLVN) - Be grateful that you still have family and loved ones by your side, even during times of anger or disagreement. At least they are still there, so you can love and be loved. There are people in this world whom you can no longer call "father" or "mother."

Be grateful that you still have eyes to see the light, legs to walk, and hands to grasp love. There are people who only wish to see the faces of their loved ones once, to walk alone on a sun-drenched path. Do you know that even the ability to perceive this world is a precious gift?

Be grateful that you still have enough time to eat a meal, and that you have rice to eat. Remember that somewhere out there, there are people who go hungry all night, and there are those who quietly pick up every fallen grain of rice. Just a bowl of soft rice is a source of happiness for many people in earthquake-stricken areas, disaster zones, and epidemic zones around the world.

Be grateful that you are living in peace , while somewhere else, war continues, and bombs are still claiming the lives of countless people. Just one day walking on peaceful streets, free from chaos and fear, is a priceless thing that many would trade their lives for.

Be grateful that you still have a home to return to, a small corner to rest after the hustle and bustle of life. Don't forget that on the cold sidewalks, under makeshift awnings, there are people huddled in the biting wind or scorching sun with no home to go to.

Be grateful for each passing day, for both joys and sorrows, for all are valuable lessons that life bestows. Every event in life, whether favorable or unfavorable, is a karmic connection that helps you grow, understand impermanence, comprehend cause and effect, let go of attachments, and live a peaceful life.

Be grateful for this life, because every morning when you open your eyes, you still have the opportunity to breathe, to feel the world, to have the chance to correct your mistakes, and to meet loved ones.

Be grateful that you still have another day to live, to learn to love more, to be more forgiving, and to live a more virtuous life. Don't wait until you're gone to regret it, and don't let time slip away indifferently. Cherish every moment, because only when you live with gratitude will you truly touch genuine happiness.
