Gratitude Is A Flickering Virtue
Gratitude is a flickering virtue because it requires you to acknowledge and appreciate whatever is good in your life along with what is good in others and your surroundings. It's tough because it sometimes means acknowledging your own weaknesses and appreciating others' strength and flexibility. It's easy to appreciate yourself but it's very tough to appreciate others, especially in relation to those qualities which you lack. Your ego blocks you from putting words of praise in your mouth for others and the comparison trap engages you in the petty mean ways of dealing.
Acknowledge And Appreciate
It's easy to notice the obstacles but tough to highlight the blessings because that needs you to accept the favour's that life has done to you. Moreover, it stops you from throwing yourself a pity party that makes you feel sorry for yourself because of all the failures, restrictions, lack of resources, etc. that you believe to be the main reasons of holding you back from achieving success.
But nonetheless, if we learn to count our blessings more than we count our troubles, and simultaneously evaluate our own choices and decisions that created such circumstances, and take accountability for the same, then we will realise we are much more blessed than we truly acknowledge and deserve.
Moreover, we will also realise how our wrong decisions and choices created havoc in our lives. We will then understand that the blame game that we play is simply because we don't want to accept that we were wrong in the first place.
