What are you thankful for? Some days we are ungrateful
and oblivious towards the good things happening in our life we complain about
the ones not happening. Life isn’t complicated like we make it seem, however it
can be hard at times and all but there should be some important things you should
be thankful for. Live, laugh, love, surround yourself with crazy and positive
people and be thankful for the simple things in life and God will give you more
reasons to be thankful for. Don’t have the ability to change your situation
take it to God, he never fails. So, what are you thankful for, please share
them in the comment section, it just might motivate someone reading. Check out more A Line Skirt on Zaful

What am I thankful for? so many things to be thankful
for but let’s hit the important ones, shall we?
1-
Wisdom
and Discernment – A lot of people have knowledge, are bright and Intelligent
but not many have wisdom and I’m thankful for the wisdom and discernment I
have. It has helped me work with people better, understand life better, see
through peoples intentions, know when something isn't right, knowing how to approach a situation and knowing
when to speak, and knowing when to ignore some certain things.
2-
My Past-
Do you look back and wonder why some certain things happened the way it did? Well
not anymore because for me everything that happened shaped me into the woman I
am today. If you betrayed me, left me, hurt me, rejected me, lied to me, never
kept your promise, bruised me physically or emotionally and/or looked down on me and all that mediocre stuff. I’m happy
you did cause if not for all that, Benita wouldn’t be the Benita of today, and
it was all a part of it. Thank you and bye Felicia. The bible says the rain
will fall on the just and the unjust so nothing exempts you from all the
harshness of life, just make sure you turn it into a beautiful story, be strong
and learn from it.
3-
Morals
– I see people who change in a split second when they face circumstances or hit
bottom rock, but with everything going on in my life, I can say I still know
who I’m, know my do’s and don’ts without being distracted or moved by peer
pressure or circumstances in life.
4-
Internet-
The possibilities are endless as to what you can do on the internet, being able
to blog, connect with my blog friends, connect with loved ones around the
world, improve my knowledge (thank God for google), with the internet you can
basically find out what’s happening around the world and so on.
5-
Holidays-
I can’t even emphasize on this enough, I’m really thankful for holidays, to
just unwind, relax and replenish all the energy lost to school work, lectures,
cramming and all that stuff. Talking about education that brings me to the next.
6-
Education
- Being privileged to have sound education even though it’s in a stressful
environment, regardless, I’m still thankful for it as many people are deprived
good education and education is key so I’m forever thankful for that.
7-
Simple
things in life – Having sense of humor (I like laughing), not many people have
a good sense of humor and I’m glad I do. My ability to see the good in others.
Thankful for hugs, pizza, chicken, fruits, water, Ice-cream, cake, FOOD! Birthdays,
anniversaries, intriguing movies, comedies, clothes, thankful for MUSIC that transports
me into a different world!! Thankful for being able to wake up every morning in
perfect health, having food to eat and a roof over my head. Thankful for my
blog (The Style Fanatic)! My ability to vibe with anyone I meet, now that’s
goals even if I necessarily don’t like you I can be cordial with you without all
those awkwardness. My friends and family who enable me.
8-
Personal
growth – If you are not better than the person you were a year ago, a month
ago, a week ago or you are not challenging yourself, trying new things or even taking
risk. My dear you are stagnate. It’s safe to say I’m thankful for personal
growth, I take risk, and I’ve challenged myself over the years and still am.
I’ve tried new things and still doing same. Life doesn’t wait for anyone.
Challenge yourself, take risk, what’s the worst that can happen, you might fail
but failure is a stepping stone to success.
9- The ability to Forgive and Forget- Now I’m really thankful for this right here, before I just forgive but never forget but now it’s different as I’m able to forgive and forget once I hand you over to God. Why? Because Romans 19:12 the scriptures says Vengeance is of the Lord. So why worry sweet heart, hand them over to God and be at peace.
10- Experience – For the different experiences that
challenged my perspective of life.
11- Tenacity to ignore foolishness – People be trying me
trust me, and I’m really thankful I’ve the ability to ignore drama brought to
me, petty behavior and all those petty nonsense. What I’ve learnt in
this life is, you don’t have to stop at every dog that barks at you. Ignore and
they’d eventually stop barking.
BONUS!
I’m sincerely thankful for the grace of God and his
mercies over my life, family and few friends. God indeed never fails his
Children. Some days it might seem He isn’t there but He is working on our
behalf, He is a Patient God, have faith and be patient with Him.
Thanks for reading. I challenge all of us to write
down three things we are thankful for every day for the next week then read it out
loud and see if God isn’t good to you. So, please, less complaining and more
gratitude to your attitude
Talk to you in my next post, be you, be safe, be kind,
stay blessed and remain humble.
QOTD "Stop allowing loyalty to make you look stupid! You can only
identify who's worthy and right for you if your inner conscious is alert and if
you feel the same serenity inside in every thick and thin circumstance.''

Thank you for sharing dear. I hope you are well and have a great weekend :)
