Gratitude Never Gets Outdated

in #life7 years ago

 


How thankful are? Do I show gratitude for everything you have or do feel it's your birthright to have them? 


Some people are only grateful when they hit a jackpot. They don't show appreciation for the little things you do for them. 

Some are too proud to appreciate good deeds from their subordinates. They only show appreciation to those above them. 

Some  remain thankful when they have nothing, as soon as they start seeing a  little progress, their hearts get filled with pride and arrogance. 

I  remember what happened last month when a friend asked me for financial  help; unfortunately, I couldn't send the money to her before the  deadline she gave me and that provoked her not to say a simple "thank  you" when she received the money. This is a detailed explanation of what  happened. She called me around 9:50 am and requested money from me  (prior to that time, she did not give a notice that she needed money  from me). She said she needed the money for something urgent and would  like to get it before 2 pm. At the time, I didn't have extra cash to  give out, but I managed to raise the money and send to her around 4 pm.  After sending it, I was expecting to receive a call from her telling me  she's gotten it. She never did. I called to be sure the money got to  her, and I confirmed that she received it. Until date, I have not  received a simple appreciation text from her. She even said I should  lend it to her, but I did not ask for a refund, yet no show of  appreciation from her. 

It's not like I'm doing  good to people just to get a "thank you", but we are all humans and  there are things we expect from people we offer our helping hands. 

Gratitude  can persuade someone to do more for you. Gratitude motivates people. It  makes you remain on the list of people whom they should always favour.  Most importantly, gratitude gives you a pleasing personality. Everyone  wants to be with someone who appreciates them. Everyone wants to favour  someone who would be grateful. 

Be thankful for the smallest thing you received. Don't just feel grateful, show it.

I'll  like to use this opportunity to apologize to all those who have been  following my blog and are always upvoting and commenting but haven't  seen me reciprocate their kind gestures. I sight all your efforts, I'm  grateful and I'll try my best to return this kindness. 

To all my friends here who made the journey on steemit a smooth one since I started, I say a very big thank you.

@ogoowinner  is not a snub. She is not prideful. She's been through a lot these  couple of months and needs time to fully get energized again. If she  doesn't reply your comments or messages, please pardon her and let's  start with a clean slate. 

Love you all!!

Much love and appreciation to all of you from the depths of my heart.

@ogoowinner. It's only a great fool that will not be grateful. When you are grateful for what you've received yesterday and be sure another is waiting in the queue for you.
Gratitude should be a way of life. I am always grateful everyday and every time.
it's been while now. Good to here from you. You have my upvote like always. Keep being grateful.
Gratefulness is a sign that man has not lost his sense of reasoning.

Thanks for your upvote and this nice comment.

But some people still never know how to do that. My cousin gave two ladies stranded on the road on a rainy day a ride. While dropping them off they stole his phone. That was their own weird way of saying thank you. Now my cousin would never give a stranger a ride, even if the stranger is dying! Gracias.

Holy Moses! They did what? That sounds absurd. Thanks for your comment here.

Sometimes you wonder why some people behave the way they do. But if you are given a history of some unpleasant experiences encountered while trying to help, you may be able to understand their seeming irrational behaviour.

It doesn't cost anything to say 'thank you' a heart of gratitude attracts mercy, love and friendship.

Can I start from saying thank you @ogoowinner for this enlightening post?.

Thanks for your contribution bro.

Welcome back @ogoowinner,
