Be thankful!

Being thankful in every little things brings contentment and self satisfaction! Yes indeed try it out. I have personally experienced it hence sharing the same.

Here in GV I mostly see posts where people grumble about their salary being insufficient and rto is annoying etc, I really wonder how it was before covid ?! Did we have the WFH in TCS no right. It was clear that WFO was the deal and things were gng normal then. Suddenly the Covid changed the game yet haven't we see people working in banks, hospitals etc work from office only what if they say they don't like working from office. Pause to think!

It makes sense if you are not satisfied with your salary and justifying job role, eventually one can indeed look for elevation. Put your efforts and get that desired job and move on. That's being productive and optimistically. Grumbling is not the solution any day. I am OK if anyone reads this post and criticizes cus again that's not going to affect me.

We must learnt to appreciate the little things and be Thankful to God for everything. Without this we cannot see any good in anything we receive in life. There will always be a void and that will never get fulfilled without the heart of contentment.

Agreed! 💯 If I may add, comparison is taking away whatever you could enjoy in the present day.

Agreed! There's a quote from Kurt Vonnegut that really resonates with me - "And I urge you to please notice when you are happy! And exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.'"

Just being grateful and noticing the good things in life makes me a much happier person. Comparison is really the seed for envy, discontentment and unhappiness in life.
