Top 13 Things to Be Grateful For Today

Gratitude brings us back to the present moment, the only place peace truly lives. Here are the Top 13 things we can be grateful for today — simple, universal, and deeply human: 🌅 1️⃣ The Gift of Waking Up Each morning is a new beginning — a silent invitation to live, love, and do better. Be grateful that your heart still beats and your breath still flows. ❤️ 2️⃣ The People Who Care Even if it’s just one person who truly cares — that’s already a blessing. Gratitude grows when we stop counting how many love us, and start appreciating how deeply some do. 🌤 3️⃣ The Challenges That Shape Us Every struggle refines our character. As Yijing teaches: “Obstruction gives birth to strength.” Without pressure, there is no diamond. 🍀 4️⃣ The Freedom to Choose You can choose your attitude, your response, your next step. That freedom — even in a small way — is the seed of transformation. 💫 5️⃣ The Kindness of Strangers From the driver who stops for you, to the barista who smiles — the world is fil...

Can We Overdose on Love and Gratitude?

1. There’s No Overdose of Purpose, Love, and Gratitude — But There Can Be Imbalance Purpose, Love, and Gratitude are energies , not substances. You can’t “overdose” on them, but you can misapply them — meaning you express them without awareness or balance. When your Purpose becomes an obsession, you lose rest and presence. When your Love becomes attachment, you lose discernment. When your Gratitude becomes over-pleasing, you lose boundaries. So the goal isn’t to reduce PLG — it’s to anchor PLG with awareness. Yijing calls this “Zhong He” (中和) — balance and harmony in the middle path. 2. Appreciation and Praise Should Uplift, Not Inflate Appreciation is beautiful — it uplifts both giver and receiver. But if we praise without sincerity, timing, or truth, it loses its power. True praise comes from seeing reality with compassion , not illusion. When you appreciate someone’s goodness and see their flaws without judgment, you are practicing mature love — the kind that gro...

What to Do When It Feels Impossible to Be Grateful

  When It Feels Impossible to Be Grateful There will be days when it feels too hard. When that happens, ask: - “What would I miss if this were gone tomorrow?” - “What is this hardship teaching me that comfort couldn’t?” - “Who stood by me that I haven’t thanked yet?”  Gratitude isn't bypassing pain. It's reclaiming the light you still have—even in the  dark. Gratitude Journal Prompts  1. What is something difficult I’ve survived that I’m now thankful for?  2. Who has impacted my life that I haven’t expressed thanks to lately?  3. What “small” blessings do I often overlook in my day-to-day life?  4. What part of myself am I finally learning to appreciate?  QUOTE TO REMEMBER  “It’s not happiness that makes us grateful. It’s gratitude that makes us happy". From The Power of Purpose Love Gratitude by Dr Vivian Passion Koh

I'll Be Happy When

Do you ever find yourself saying "I’ll be happy when…" and then you achieve that goal and find that the happiness was fleeting? That's because greater happiness and wellbeing can’t be chased and this is a common trap many people fall into, myself included. Gratitude can help us to change our thinking to appreciate what we HAVE, instead of focusing on what we lack. This helps us feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve our health, deal with adversity, sleep better and build stronger relationships. And ultimately cultivate positivity and happiness  in the present  instead of consistently chasing future happiness. If you would like to try practicing gratitude, here is an easy way to start: Get a piece of paper and write down 3 things you are grateful for. It does not have to be big things.
