Feeling Gratitude even When (or Because) It Seems Dark and
There Is Nothing to Be Thankful of
Often when we encounter obstacles or misfortunes we become
angry and frustrated. This is very understand and completely
natural reaction.
But as mentioned earlier, there is always a way to empower
yourself at times of trials. And that is to try to attribute
positive meaning to what happens. To turn things around in your
head.
In this way you may go away from being a disempowered victim
to being an empowered person. This way of turning things around
in your head is not easy, but definitely worth the try.
These gratitude quotes speak of being grateful even when
times seem dark and full of despair:
Be thankful for your trials. If you're being tested,
you're being perfected. Which means you have a divine purpose
and reason to rejoice!

learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we
didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we
got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful.
~ Buddha ~
Notice how Buddha continues to try and find something to
grateful until he succeeds.
You yourself can try the exact thing as a form of personal
development exercise.
Try to find a way to turn everything negative you can imagine
into a positive experience.

to off with:
I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I
have found myself, my work, and my God

There Is Always Something to be Thankful of
Try this little exercise. It's a bit like the one I suggested
further up this page.
Think of all the things you have NOT got and which you would
have liked to have.
Now try to find some positive things that you have
experienced because you did NOT have what you wanted.
In other words, what are the positive things, you have
achieved BECAUSE you DIDN'T get what you (thought) you wanted.
The more difficult this exercise is for you, the more
important insights you will probably get from doing it.
Here are some great quotes that emphasize being grateful even
when you think there is nothing to be grateful of:
If you can't be content with what you have received,
be thankful for what you have escaped.

guest.
