Being grateful should be a habit and not occasional, one who is grateful is equally creating a way for the feature benefits. That is why the act of gratitude is my Hallmark.
It is wise to be grateful to people and allow nature to appreciate such a wonderful reciprocation, my life is full of people support upside and all I need to do is appreciate them limitedless.
Wisdom is learning and being thankful, moreover the act of being thankful can only show when one is grateful. I have come across people who hold opinions about my life, that is like making decisions for me. It was a kind of way these people wanted to help me.
I didn't fine it really seriously, I thought these were clowns around me, but know, I would say I was emotionally blinded by my thoughts.
This doesn't mean I am not grateful, but this one didn't occur to me, I would ever need the help again in my life. One of this was when my mum got me some pairs of shoes, when I was a child.
As a child, all children required something that was trending at the moment. So mama got me a pair of shoes, wish were not my size, three times bigger than my legs. I did I wear this, my friends, of course, would mock and laugh at me when they saw me wear these over size shoes.
I was deeply angry, even though I knew there wasn't any money. The little she had on her wasn't enough to get me my size of shoes, I asked her? So I grudgingly took the pairs of the shoes.
After one year, the need for a shoe to fellow my friends for a school match pass was there, and my old oversize shoes and others of my old ones weren't in the bad state. Only that my oversize shoe isn't totally my size yet. And I was also using my other old shoes to support it. But there was no money to buy me a new one. I grew up, my legs as well did, all my body parts did as well.
So mama promised to get me a new pair of shoes. Since, the occasion would hold in two weeks time. Now it was two weeks, that Monday morning. My teacher will soon come and pick me up to join the other kids for the match pass.
And I woke up that morning, with the expectations, of being presented a new pair of shoes by mum. But mama, polished my old brand shoes and gave them to me to wear. At this point, my teacher is already at the gate.
I have no choice, even though the shoe is not worn out. My anger grew the more inside of me, I couldn't say a word, to her. I'm still keeping up with my long face. Then my teacher walked into our house, and said, I didn't tell you the late hours decision of the school management. She said to my mum.
Last night, the school proprietor changed the dressing code to a brand colour of shoe; reason for this late hours changes is to match with the school major colours in our school flag.
My mum quickly looked at me; I was lost in words, and happy at the same time. Because if I didn't have the old brand shoes, and now we are asked to wear brand shoes, I wouldn't be part of the match pass for this year.
Little did I know that my mum's oversize shoes were intended to do me good in the feature to come. But I wasn't grateful to her enough, I became ashamed, guilt over runs my emotions and feelings.
How I wished I understand it at the moment, that my mum was doing me good. No time to waste and appreciate her that morning. My teacher and I hit the school camp that Monday morning for the school match pass. People whose parents had the money provided a new brand colour of shoes for their kids.
In my case, I wouldn't have the opportunity of being part of that year's match pass; because my parents didn't have that money. They would still not be able to provide me with a brand colour of shoe at that moment of the event. The fun and everything would have come to me as a second hand story and chapter of the event.
