Many people in their eagerness to acquire more and better things, stop valuing the things they have already obtained. And this is just a way of expressing being ungrateful.
You cannot stop giving the value that you deserve to the things you have in your life today. Today they are part of your life, but before they arrived, you didn’t have them.

III. Make gratitude a daily habit
Sometimes things come into your life, without you looking for them. These positive things or situations, you have to recognize them as a blessing.
Even things, seemingly negative in the beginning, can result in experiences from which you learn something new.
Ralph Waldo Emerson who was a great American essayist, lecturer, philosopher and poet once said:

Blessings cannot be measured, and many times we make the mistake of valuing them as big or small blessings.
When you think about it, you realize that everything is important. Everything has a purpose in your life and should be measured as something valuable.
Robert Breault the American operatic tenor once said:
“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.”
