Being Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
 
Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
 
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.
 
Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference.
 
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfilment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.
GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings.

If you look around you, there is something to be thankful for. A roof over your head, food in your fridge, your family, friends and colleagues. Every day that you are in good health, every day that you get to go to work, to drink clean water - each of these things are truly a gift. When you begin to recognize the goodness in your life, and make a conscious effort to be grateful for it, you will see that every day there will be more and more to be thankful for.

Challenges
Learn to appreciate challenges. A person is not defined by what happens to them in their life but by how they deal with what happens in their life. We all have hardships to overcome, and with each hardship, you have a choice. You can either choose to let it break you, OR choose to let it make you.
 
Allow the challenges in your life to make you a better person. With every suffering you endure, there is something to learn. We must be grateful for those opportunities, because that is how you grow and become a stronger person.

Treasure Moments
No matter how big or small. It’s these simple things, like making my loved one’s life more enjoyable, that makes my life more enjoyable. Relish in the moments you spend with family, friends, laughing at a social gathering. Cherish the moments you get to spend at work.  Next time you feel like complaining about your job, but be grateful you have a job.


A FEW TIPS TO LIVING A MORE GRATEFUL LIFE:

Say thank you. When someone does something nice for you, however small, try to remember to say thank you. And really mean it. A phone call, message or in person, say the words thank you -  keep it short and sweet

Gratitude sessions. Take 2-3 minutes each day to give thanks - to whoever or whatever you’re grateful for. You don’t have to do anything, other than close your eyes and silently give thanks. This one act can make a huge difference.
 

Give thanks for “negative” things in your life. When you think of something as negative — it’s stressful, harmful, sad, unfortunate, difficult but that same thing can be looked at in a more positive way. Giving thanks for those things is a great way to remind yourself that there is good in just about everything. Problems can be seen as opportunities to grow, to be creative.
Starting from today take on the journey to become a more grateful, happier person.

By living with gratitude you become a more happier person.

Petrol Pryse

Hier is 'n vergelyking van die petrol pryse in Januarie 2009 – (R5.76) en 2014 – (R13.98).

Vergelyking van Petrol Pryse
 
Dit is skokkend om te sien dat petrol pryse byna verdubbel het die afgelope 6jaar. Ek sidder om te dink wat dit binne die volgende 5-7jaar gaan wees, R40.00+ per liter...??
Ek sou dit dan eerder oorweeg om 'n Hybrid motor aan te skaf, maar met Eskom se voordurende verhogings in elektrisiteit tariewe, weet ek nie meer nie. Die publieke vervoerstelsel in ons land is ook so pateties, nie eens dit is 'n betroubare opsie nie. Dalk sal ‘n motorfiets kan werk, maar daar is ook ‘n groot risiko aan verbonde. #veiligheid vs #besparing.
Wel, dit daar gelaat.
