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.
