10 Things in Life I’m Grateful for
The simple things you already have that make life good
I was happy to discover that my buddy, N.A. Turner, tagged me in his story about gratitude! Since then, I’ve enjoyed reading the stories from Daniel J Botha, Marvin Marcano〽️〽️ and Nicol Valentin. It was nice to get to know you all slightly better.
In a world where fortune and materialism influence our idea of success and happiness, we tend to forget to derive our contentment from what we already have, as opposed to what we think we need more of.
I like to believe that I’m an uncomplicated guy. I know what I like and don’t like, I have a certain stubbornness about what I want, and I have a tendency to be indifferent towards things I deem irrelevant. Some may regard these characteristics as aloof or cold, others appreciate knowing exactly where my head is at, at any given time. I prefer a simple life, without too much confusion.
Before I completely ruin my first impression, though, I’d like to talk about some things in life I’m genuinely grateful for — as was requested. It goes without saying that I love my family and friends, my passions, reading and music. I’d like to go a bit more specific. The aim is for you to get to know me better after reading this curriculum. Again, thank you N.A.
