How to Be Grateful when nothing good is happening?

That quote—“It is not joy that makes us grateful, but gratitude that makes us joyful”—is at the very heart of SuperME and the Purpose, Love, Gratitude (PLG) philosophy by Dr. Vivian Passion Koh.

Let’s explore how to be grateful daily, and how being a SuperME helps make this not just a mindset, but a living reality:

🙏 How to Be Grateful on a Daily Basis

1. Begin Your Day with a Gratitude Anchor

Before checking your phone or thinking about your to-do list, place your hand over your heart and say:

“Thank you—for this breath, this body, this new beginning.”

This simple pause sets your emotional tone for the day.

2. Notice the Small Good Things

Gratitude isn’t just for big wins.
It’s found in:

  • A stranger holding the lift

  • The smell of morning coffee

  • A kind word from a colleague

Daily gratitude is about training your eyes to see what your heart would otherwise miss.

3. Practice the “3 Gratefuls” Reflection Each Night

Every evening, ask:

  • What went well today?

  • Who or what am I thankful for?

  • What lesson or gift did the tough moments bring?

Write or speak it. Let it settle.

4. Shift “Why Me?” into “What Now?”

When things go wrong, gratitude is not denying pain—it’s reframing it:

“What is this teaching me? How is this shaping me?”

Even your struggles are seeds.

🌟 How Being a SuperME Makes Gratitude Easier and Deeper

✅ 1. SuperME shifts you from scarcity to soul

The Protector-Me constantly says: “I don’t have enough. I’m not enough.”
But your SuperME says:

“I am enough. Life is happening for me, not to me.”

With this lens, gratitude isn’t forced—it flows.

✅ 2. SuperME grounds you in Purpose

When you live with purpose, even challenges have meaning.
You stop judging life based on comfort and start appreciating it for growth.

✅ 3. SuperME releases attachment

You stop clinging to outcomes and control.
Instead, you stay present—grateful for each now moment, knowing it’s part of a bigger unfolding.

✅ 4. SuperME practices Love that fuels Gratitude

Gratitude thrives when we receive love without guilt, and give love without keeping score.
SuperME helps us stay open-hearted even when things feel uncertain.

✨ Final Insight

You don’t have to wait until life is perfect to be grateful.
You don’t need to “earn” gratitude.
You just need to pause… and notice.

Because as SuperME Unleashed reminds us:

“Gratitude is the frequency that multiplies.”
It multiplies peace.
It multiplies love.
And yes—it multiplies joy.

So today—don’t chase joy.
Choose gratitude.
And let joy find you. 💖

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
