Happy and Thankful

It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy. — Happy & Thankful

I like quotes that make me think and this is one of them. It’s like a which came first the chicken or the egg riddle.

Happy people had to get happy someway didn’t they? Probably something good came into their lives that made them thankful. Is it possible to be happy without being thankful? Meditate on that for a while and you will probably come to some realizations that will help you on your journey.

What emotion do people who are thankful have? Happiness, peace, content, etc. Is it possible for someone to be thankful and not be happy? I don’t think so.

Be thankful for What You Have

Oprah Winfrey gave this quote. I never read any of her stuff but I learned about all of the hardships that she had to go through while growing and have been told that reading her biography gave inspiration to many people.

It is true that if you are thankful for what is in your life you will realize how much you really have and how lucky you are to have it. Especially when you think of how many people do not have what you have. If you are always trying to keep up with the Jones and concentrate on what you don’t have you will never achieve peace and feel abundant in your life. Life will not be satisfying and you will feel empty inside.

Thankful Quote

When asked if my cup is half-full or half-empty, my only response is that I am thankful I have a cup. — Thankful Quote

Being thankful and grateful on a regular basis will make your life so much happier. I just read an interview for Warren Buffet where he said that being grateful for everything in his life has made his life better.

If you think you have it rough just think of some people that have it rougher than you. It will build empathy and make your problems seem that much smaller. If people are grateful for what they have they will also feel rich inside.

“When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears” – Tony Robbins

This quote is somewhere in this gallery as well. The abundance mentioned in this quote does not mean that riches will fall down from the sky. It is meant to mean that once you are grateful and realize all that you have you will feel the abundance that is already in your life.
