Gratitude and its benefits.

Giving thanks for everything we have is one of the healthiest ways to recognize what others do for us and what we have obtained.

The act of gratitude strengthens ties, provides more unity between people, because this act helps express feelings of joy and recognition.

From the beginning of the day I try to thank, first, my creator God because he gives me the opportunity to live another day and to be with my family.

I take this routine as an important part after opening my eyes, it is a time of meditation, where I can recognize that I am lucky to breathe, enjoy the company of my wife and children, a job, and everything I need in life.

I must admit that I have learned this over time, when I was younger my concern was more about what I needed, money, cover the needs and what I had planned to improve my economy.

In theory, my main focus was on material things, which I must say are important, but the main thing is to be grateful for having the joy of being able to live and enjoy the family that God gave me to brighten my life.

Previously I did not adequately recognize the favor that others did to improve my life, example, my mother, a hard-working woman who made all her earnings so that my brothers and I could have what we needed.

At that moment I thought that if my mother were a millionaire I wouldn't lack anything, but today I can say that she gave me more than what I needed, he gave me moral support, affection and everything he could so that I and my brothers could study.

My mother is now an adult, I am grateful that she is still alive and that I offer her my gratitude as much as I can, with my love or with some details to improve her living condition.

Likewise, there are so many people I would like to thank, for being part of my personal and professional growth, I remember all of them with affection.

After my experiences to this day I give more value to gratitude, instead of complaining about what I have not achieved, I am grateful for what I have and continue working for what I want.

Giving thanks not only benefits other people, it also helps us in our personal development.

✓ It gives us the opportunity to strengthen our interpersonal ties, it helps us to be more united with the people around us, creating more affection.

✓ It helps us to be more positive, because we know how to recognize what we have achieved, it makes us see that our goals can be achieved or that we can find the necessary support to get out forward.

✓ By valuing things, gratitude helps us feel gratified and happy for what we have, it helps us be more empathetic and supportive.

In short, gratitude has many more benefits than we can perceive and with a simple thank you we can improve our mood and that of those around us.

I thank this community for the opportunity it gives me to continue sharing my thoughts of personal well-being.
