Topic: Gratitude should be an attitude (Read 1018 times)

I really agree to all your statement, many claim it's there called right receiving help from people that render it to them proudly is usually the other if the day id those who are help in this generation unlike before such ungrateful ness was a little bit limited but today it's not so I don't know if it's the case of global changes that leads to this situation.

Until people know that gratitude is the application for more in everything one received from human does not matter weather great or small gratitude should be put in first place.

To be ingrate when a help is render is another way of cutting if one blessings or help in which ever angle it come from gratitude is the key if receiving more.

Have you encounter such people in life in which no matter of what good you have done to them, they will never appreciate such  and show gratitude, helping them even will be seen as your own responsibility to do so, while they were there no helping other from their own little capacity, this is about pride to me, i see no reason for someone to help you out with something and then you refused to show your gratitude, will you be able to receive more for the next time?

Gratitude is a very important quality we need to have as human. Just like we know that opportunity could come to us knocking at the door for a better lifestyle. Once we have a cheerful lifestyle we are living, there is no way we are going to suffer because our past would always make ways for us especially when we have the heart of gratitude. Their are people that have gained opportunity that later changes their Life because of how they were able to position their doings, thanking people that have helped them.

Yes for sure being grateful is a very important quality of a person, the more you're grateful for the little things it brings up opportunities for the bigger things.

If someone can appreciate cent, when given a thousand bucks, surely they will even be more grateful but some people are just ingrates, no matter what you do for them they will probably not appreciate your efforts rather they will complain or even castigate the little you have done for them.

But for being here in the forum, you owe no one an appreciation but yourself, you should better keep the gratefulness to yourself and focus more on changing that which you feel is disliked about you. I'm also a newbie like you but over time I have come to realise that nobody hates you but it's just the fact that you have not done what exactly is expected of you and when you do that you can understand nobody here is your hater not even the legendary members, most of them are so occupied that there do not even notice you. So don't feel like your being bullied or hate here, it's a global forum and non of us here cares about you it's a personal race.

Indeed the act of gratitude is underemphasized in our society. I think that is because God almighty gives us everything for free and humans tend to associate every other sphere of their life as a right instead privilege. Which I can say, I am grateful for everything life offers, grateful to everyone in my life, grateful for the food I eat, grateful for even the bitter experiences that have taken place in my life because they taught me valuable lessons. For me, gratitude indeed should be an attitude.

Gratitude: A strong feeling of appreciation to someone or something for what the person has done to help you.
Attitude: A feeling or opinion about something or someone or a way of behavior about something or someone.
An attitude of gratitude is a regular habit to express appreciation for all different parts of life, no matter how small.
We can develop an attitude of gratitude by;
a) Count your blessings: make a list of all the ways you are blessed.
b) Be grateful for yourself;  think of things you have accomplished (big or small), your talents, and people who you may have helped because you stayed true to yourself.
When we train ourselves to look at life through the lens of gratitude rather than disappointment, we find ourselves happier and more at peace.

Ungratefulness is what makes some of us to lose opportunity that would have taken us to the second level.
Gratitude is another important thing we need to keep our eyes to so that we don't finally offend people that has helped us in life making them to bad of ever helping us again maybe in the future. We ought to appreciate every little things people do to us whether good or bad so that we don't later hear that we have offended people that are dear to us and always ready to help us.

we should always be grateful for the little things that doesn't matter too, you don't wait for the big things before you'll be grateful,  like my guy always say appreciation is the application for more, you just have to show appreciation when needed no matter how small or big ,

God, I teach you, whatever the circumstances, you must remain sincerely patient and always be grateful. At that time it was just an ordinary saying in my opinion, but after all this time I have lived and my age has increased. those words do have meaning. Why is that? At that time, I was struck by a disaster, my child became ill and had to be hospitalized for 1 week at the hospital closest to where I lived. 1 week has meaning in my view. In the 1 week I was in the hospital, I discovered a lot about the meaning of why we should always be grateful. in the hospital I found many sincere prayers, where sincere prayers were said asking for healing for the patient's illness from the patient's family and in the hospital I also found the meaning of patience, where the patient was diagnosed as suffering from an illness which I thought was serious but Patients who suffer from it remain strong and patient in facing it. and the meaning of gratitude that I saw in my 1 week in the hospital, I found many patients who were breathing with the help of tools and oxygen, couldn't walk and were pushed by wheelchairs, had to eat and drink through a tube connected directly to their stomach, urinate and defecate in place using a tube. So what is the reason that makes us not grateful? We are grateful because we are healthy and normal, unlike those who are struggling with illness. So how arrogant are humans who are never grateful. Once in a while, don't look up, just look down at those whose standard of living is lower than ours, that's the meaning of the word grateful...

Gratitude to those that corrected you for some wrong way in this forum and some that impact knowledge to you make them to continue what they are doing in the forum, so that upcoming newbies will be part of their impact like the way you are part of the impact some years ago to show gratitude.

There are some people, they don't need you money for doing what they did for you to make progress, but all they want from you is to appreciate them for what they have done and if you fail to appreciate them, they will not stop in doing good to people but they will never help you again because they feel you didn't value what they did for you in the past.

Always be grateful.  Gratitude expresses a person's generosity.  If someone helps in any work even if it is very insignificant then we should always be grateful and show gratitude to him.  Not everyone has the mindset to express gratitude.  Everyone likes to receive favors but is reluctant to express gratitude for them.  It shouldn't be at all.  They should be courteous and generous to everyone.  Modesty and kindness always bring good things to a man.  All these qualities make a person more respectable in public.  If you are humble, you feel free to express gratitude to others.  Expressing gratitude makes people selfless.

It's a very good thing for an individual to be grateful in heart for things he had, because what the ungrateful person might be complaining off, how it is not that perfect, that would be someone's prayer points.

It's very common in our society this days that not everyone has a grateful heart, some people will always feel ungrateful, and unappreciative till they lost what they where taking for granted, that is when they will know the importance of what they never appreciated, so it's important that we feel grateful for what we have, while waiting for what we don't have.

It's surprising how appreciation can help us see the world in a new perspective, find significance and importance even in tough situations. And it's equally correct that oftentimes the people in our lives who dislike us may motivate us to work harder and be more improved versions of ourselves, and I believe that one of the strongest aspects of thankfulness is that it changes how we view things away from the bad and toward the good. And such adjustments in concentration may truly transform how we view the world around us; even if you don't possess the gene, however, you can still cultivate appreciation with diligence and dedication.

 This indeed is a very deep thread that we all should always ponder on. Unfortunately so many individuals has lost their place an successful hight bcs of their ungratefulness. gratitude could be in different forms either in words or in character exhibition. I don't know about contrary opinion but in what ever level it may occur I consider ingratitude as pride and just like the Holy book points out that "pride goes before destruction ".
   This statement is self explanatory to all who wish to grow please be grateful and appreciate any kind gesture offered to you by anyone whether small or great bcs  every of it may simply be a  test you  can not afford to fail.

In the chaotic symphony of life, gratitude becomes the compass that guides us, unlocking the beauty hidden within every twist and turn. Together, we embrace this forum as a tapestry of learning and growth, where gratitude weaves us into a united family of shared wisdom and endless possibilities.

Being grateful indeed upon us up for a world of possibilities and this is what it take to revitalize yourself and keep being motivated to be able to stay ahead of the many challenges that comes our ways on daily basis and this is what we need at every step of the way,  I took a quick look at the op's profile and I can see the angle he is speaking from most especially when he mentioned haters in advance because along the line the ops lost his reputation by subscribing to promote a scam casino which made him to get tagged with a red tag that ultimately damaged his reputation and ends his journey here in the forum,  but also it is indeed worthy to note that the place of gratitude can be more respected if you never make such mistake and paying for it in a hard way.

I guess ops was warned but because of weekly stipends, he ditched all that away.

Gratitude is a virtue everyone should work out for, its help the society. when the society is full of gratitude people. its develop quick. but when its full of ungrateful is sink quick, we must learn how to be grateful for people who do us good or give us helping hands in any point in time. with a grateful heart, the helper will extend his helping hands for other. but when there is no grateful heart, he might limit his hands. all is for the development of the society.

Gratitude is very important in whatever that we appreciate something that was done by someone. Most people that have everything believes that they owe you no gratitude in whatever that you do for them because they are too proud. Or because that they are the one that is giving more to you and your life is based on them,they feel that they y shouldn't say thank you.

I have notice that those people who show gratitude in whatever they are doing,will keep on making life easy for themselves with the society. Gratitude is something that must be practice in our daily lives because we do involve ourselves in some activities that we need to appreciate people effort or contributions everyday.

Being grateful for both the ups and downs is truly admirable. I'm glad you're here in this forum, and I hope you find valuable lessons and experiences. Looking forward to sharing this journey with you. Stay grateful! ❤️

Let me show you about gratitude.

Imagine that you have everything that you could ever want or desire? What else is there that you need? The only thing else that you might need is to be esteemed by people... people who are people just like you are. And receiving thanks for good that you do is a major way for you to be esteemed... so that you can 'feel good about yourself'.

Now consider God, and all the blessings that he gives people. He even says in the Bible that He will gain glory (a form of esteem) from His enemies.

Does God need to be esteemed by people? Not really. God is sufficient in Himself. But He made us enough like Him so that we would be able to glorify Him for His greatness, thereby glorifying ourselves, and receiving glory from Him, by recognizing His greatness. Jesus said to the Pharisees, "How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?" - John 5:44.

God is an Alien Who is so extremely great as to be way beyond understanding. But out of love for us He has given us the ability to recognize some of His greatness. Sincere gratitude to Him for His loving kindness, and for the goodness He shows to us, actually builds us up.
