One of the days take your time and walk or drive through the streets, neighborhood & watch as people are going on ka matshelo a bone, one thing will highlight to you how privileged you are in that moment. There is so much to be grateful for, even in our lowest moments.
For some who interact with a lot of different people , it allows them to realize how privileged they are just from learning about people’s life experiences, take your time and listen as they talk to you.
Sometimes just say “Thank you” to whoever and everyone you interact with , see how much it lights up their face and touches your heart. That on its own carries blessings.
When I was in senior school many many years ago, our class teacher Mr Corker always insisted we say thank you even when he handed us test papers that we had done bad in😅, we even learnt to respond to every greeting adding a thank you in it.To this day a thank you is a norm.
I got away from home and having to explain “Kelebogile” more often reinforced this for me coz It does mean ‘thank you’ ❤️. It reminded me everytime there is power, peace and assurance that comes with just being grateful.
So do have that gratefulness jar, write down how grateful you are even in a journal, read it out every chance you get.. you cannot finish that list without a smile..I assure you. Your heart will feel lighter.
Asante sana. In whatever, be thankful. It’s not a bare reaction.
Much love always ❤️
