One great exercise that I always love to do is to list down the things I am grateful of. And ever since I started counting my blessings [
instead of looking at my situation], I feel that it gives me an inner sense of happiness, peace and well-being. I realized, though, that no matter what the circumstance is, there is always something to be thankful for. And through this list I want to be continuously reminded of how blessed I am..
I hope as you read this, you too will get inspired to count the blessings that God has placed upon you and experience the wonders of having a grateful heart.
