“We must learn to give thanks” – Betty Irabor speaks against the spirit of ingratitude
Author, Philanthropist and publisher of Genevieve Magazine, Betty Irabor on her Twitter page today advised against the act of looking down on your progress in life. She shared a personal experience where she realized she was almost 60 and had not done some of the things she had hope for. However, she realized that worrying about them won’t help matters and proceeded to thank God instead for the things she had achieved.

I realised that when I stopped hyperventilating and trying to do everything all at once in a bid to make my 60 deadline I cld focus better.

I kept thinking; “I am going to be 60 & what do I have to show for it?” My family cldnt believe me & they reminded me of my achievements

I felt they were being patronizing ; the feeling of underachievement continued until I decided “u know what? It’s ok. I give up “

I kid you not.. But when I stopped struggling and agonizing abt everything.. Things began to fall in place; slowly but surely..

When things look like they are not coming together it’s probably because the potter is moulding us for the bigger and the better..

You can’t get ahead with a spirit of ingratitude.. You can only get more when you give thanks for what you already have..

We all get to that place where we sometimes think we have achieved nothing but takin stock of d little we have achieved helps us forge ahead
