What is a gratitude in your own words??
For me, I always think of it as the reason that helps me continue in life, that is, the positive motivator for me. Of course, everything I say is from my personal point of view regarding my personal experience so far, so my point of view may change in the future, I do not know 😅
For example, for me, despite all my health problems, family tensions, depression, anxiety, bullying, loss, etc., which I went through in my life, which had a bad effect on me, to be honest, I always thought that I was fine, even if I was tired or complaining, but inside I was certain that things would go wrong. I am fine as long as I can breathe, I can move, I can etc.. and I have a roof over my head and I have food, thank God. That is, I have no reason to complain, and everything that happens to me and the delay in fulfilling my wishes has a reason, and this is a reason that is definitely good for me.
I also see it as an example of patience, and the longer it lasts, the more its end will be something beautiful and greater than we can imagine
We have a verse in the Holy Quran
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, “So be patient with great patience.”
"فَاصْبِرْ صَبْراً جَمِيلًا "
صدق الله العظيم

Gratitude help us see the good and positive things in our lives that we may overlook for reasons that happen to us. When we ignore them, we drown in our negative thoughts, which then perhaps turn into things that we see as real, and even if they are not, they turn into psychological illnesses that negatively affect us. I have been through this. There was a stage in my life where I forgot how many good and beautiful things I had in my life, and I was not grateful and thankful for this, and this had a negative impact and hurt me a lot, but thank to Allah I was able, and as the days went by, to understand this.
Sorry, I spoke alot😅, although I tried to be brief, but I wanted to share this with others, and I also hope to know the opinions of others. Certainly, this will help everyone.

@Tulipsmile thankyou Allah for protecting tulip, and helping her see the light through the dark ❤
To me gratitude is a way of life, it's appreciating the small things, seeing the beauty and magic that surrounds us, it's love and faith. It's kindness to another person, the reason we smile. Thankyou God for life ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Ohh Lola how sweet words and how sweet thoughts
You are 100000% right ⚘⚘⚘❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing 💙💙
For me gratitude is being thankful to the almighty and to the higher powers and to people around us who never left us when we were at the lowest. I remember when I lost my father I couldn’t believe what happened. I was shattered and broken. We were just 3 people against the whole world without the backbone of our family, my father. I loved him so dearly. None of our family members supported us.(in India we usually are connected and the whole family wether it paternal or maternal side behave(try to ) act as a unit. My mother worked day and night to give us education and a better life. Years of patience perseverance and her hardwork finally got us what we wanted. My brother got a really nice job and I fulfilled my and my father’s dream. I am grateful to each and everyone who was there with us during that time especially The Almighty. I am grateful to my mother as it is only because of her I am here today and obviously my elder brother who had to give up his dreams and in a way compromise so that he could give me a better life.
I hope to make them proud one day. Amen.

Also your mother is the most person that will be proud and happy bcz you want to make her happy and I am sure that the reality of you realize how she do everything for you and your brother, that also will make her soo happy 🤗🤗🙏
I wish you all the best in life and all the happiness for you and your family😇
@Tulipsmile thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate you taking the time out and penning down such a sweet reply!
@Catmomj99
Thank you so much
I appreciate that
@Tulipsmile
I can appreciate things on an intellectual level. Make evaluations on how things effect me and how much I want that thing in my life. Beyond that I am unable to feel grateful just like I am unable to feel love or compassion although I have a code of behavior that might make you think otherwise.
@Gettingbettertoday
Idk but for me I think that sometimes, even if we are grateful or feel grateful for something or an event happens with us, there remains a part or something related to either satisfaction or conviction in this. Acknowledging our gratitude does not necessarily mean that we are completely convinced of it.
@Gettingbettertoday
And tbh with you
I feel gratitude to the negative things happens with me in my bad times more than anything else😅😂
@Tulipsmile
It helps us to ground ourself to our current situation to keep going in life by making peace with everything and everyone in our control and beyond our control , it helps us getting unstuck and gives us a sense of wholeness within.

To me gratitude is being grateful, thankful and appreciative for everything you have as well as all the (good) people in your life including yourself. It’s a positive blessful (no that’s not a typo) way of living life. It’s one way to care for yourself and everyone who love. Gratitude motivates us to do whatever we have to in order to be as little to no stress, frustrated, etc as we can be. At least that’s how it is for me anyway :)
