Five things I am thankful for:ย โค๏ธ๐๐๐๐
by Abraham Khoureis, Ph.D., M.A.
In this particular day of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for five things in my life:ย โค๏ธ๐๐๐๐
Yes,
โค๏ธย love,ย
๐ย silence,ย
๐ย listening,ย
๐ย objectivity,ย and,
๐ย prayers.
โค๏ธย Love: I am thankful for the existence of love in my life: the one I receive or give, is equally important.
๐ย Silence: when Iย silence myself, I am forced to reflect. And when I reflect, I process the environments of my inner and external existence, which may lead to change and improvement of my inner and outer selves.
๐ย Listening: I am grateful that I am a listener. This ability wasnโt developed overnight, but, with practice. Listening invites me to hear the feedback and advices of others. Listening allows me to hear my environment.
๐ย Objectivity: Being objective helps me to remove all biases retained from the experiences with others. I am a color blind when it comes to race, religion, gender, social status, sexual orientation, etc. I am grateful that I see all people equally, and I extend them the same due respect. The favorite one to me is the one who helps others.
๐ย My prayers: It is no secret that I am a believer in Almighty God. And my soul connects to His Soul through my daily prayers. I am grateful and thankful that I am spiritual and I see the existence of God in His Creation, especially, the marvelous creation of the Human-being.
In addition, I am grateful and blessed for the great people around me: family, friends, colleagues and clients. And, the continuing improvement of my health. โHealth is wealthโ. As without a decent health, my quality of life will diminish to non-existence.
I amย thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
