An Attitude with Gratitude

I called my professor, Shobana mam today from Singapore and I was cribbing about my Job. She patiently waited until I finished the entire story and then asked me to have gratitude and make that an attitude. She told me that there are people who earn very little and don’t enjoy anything at all. How true. What am I doing? I am seeking for something that is not rather than embracing what is. The difference is between what I desire to what I deserve. As long I don’t observe this futile exercise, I am sure I cannot be happy.

Oh divine, give me the power to appreciate all your work and deeds. I am sure you cannot create crap and you wont perform an action if it is not warranted. Let all this not be mere words. Let me understand what I am now saying and live with it.
