If, I look 2 years from now. The day I started practicing gratitude. It all started making sense to me. I used to hate and blame people for something that I was not able to achieve in my life. The things which I was not able to get done in a certain. It was a go to habit for me to blame some or the other person, often repeating in a dramatic way.

They pushed me into these situation. I am so unlucky. Why everyone treat me like this, why no one listens to me. Waiting for someone to validate something then moving on with my decision and if the outcome was not satisfactory then again the blame game.

The day I started practicing being grateful, for what all I have in whatever way. I started to notice change in myself. Some things happened which are – I started to see problems as opportunities for growth. I started to focus on my self and acting responsibly. It made more comfortable being vulnerable and authentic at the same. I am more happy and peaceful now then ever before.
