Every so often, our temperament is so short that we often react immediately to situations and hard times that we experience from time to time.

Because of this, we feel sad, pressured, worried, and rushing to get rid of the challenges that we are facing. But we forget that all of those have something to impart in our lives. Challenges happen to give us a lesson and to open our eyes to simple things that we need to appreciate and be thankful for.

There are numerous reasons to appreciate and enjoy life.

It’s just a matter of realizing it on our own, accepting it certainly, and being contended for what we have.

Here are the little things that you need to enjoy and be glad for every day:

• Your life! Being able to wake up each day is a great blessing already. It means a new day and a new chance to explore the gifts of life.
• The people around you. Don’t spend a day interacting only with the virtual world! You are human, and humans need to interact with real people with whom you can connect and learn something. Enjoy their company and embrace whatever lessons you might get from them.
• Nature and environment. Be glad that you can still see some trees and be able to breathe some fresh air each day.
• Enjoy every clean water that you drink, food that you eat, clothing that you wear, and shelter where you live. You don’t know how other people are wishing to have those blessings.
• Appreciate and be glad for the experiences that molded you to be a better person. Good or bad, the important is that it taught you something.
• Lastly, be happy for the memories that you’ve created from other people, places, and adventures along your life’s journey.
