To feel gratitude is to feel contentment. To feel contentment is to feel tranquility. A life well lived is a life where every pain is an opportunity, every occurrence is meaningful, and every step is taken with confidence and care. With this modern lifestyle, we rarely get the chance to dedicate a moment to ourselves; To really reflect on the life that we are living and the choices we make everyday in regards to the things we do and the people we interact with. So, the next time you decide to put down the preposterous requisitions of our overloaded life, take a closer look at the things you possess that have always been there, but rarely have you given them anything more than a glimpse, which is a hell of a less than what they actually deserve. ![image2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcqyhQRm8tFC1Ukd1icpBvo5gAqDN36ayX9VUVj6TwDtD/image2.jpg) img src

Take a look at your hands, think of how they move about in the space around you, of the many things you are able to do with them. Take a look at yourself in the mirror, think of how you can smile, of how you are one and unique in this universe of wonders. Take a look at your parents, think of how much you like them, of how important their presence is in your life. Take a look at the person you love the most in the world, think of how much you love them, of how you would do anything and everything to make sure that they are happy in every second of their life. Take a look, take a look and consider the infinite beauty of the human soul. After that, thank god, thank every god there ever was or ever will be, nature, universe, or anything that is of any value to you, that you, of all the phenomenon in this world, had this rare chance to exist and observe all of this, to feel… to love… to live. ![image1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcEGV3MWEUuyzD2wQNhvKPXUwT8FeqicoYKSPtfadbQZr/image1.jpg) img src

People can sometimes be cruel, not to other people, but to themselves. They often fall into the trap of focusing on what they lack, rather than what they have. With the first one, you live your days with guilt, regret, and thirst. With the second, you will live with peace, comfort, and satisfaction. It is your decision; whether to see life as a curse, or a blessing, as it all goes back to what you focus on. By reminding yourself of what life has bestowed on you every day, you will find that you are happy to be alive, and that at the end of the day, all those pains and struggles that we go through are worth the trouble. ![image3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSabHAcnxrb9VfJwwihjJ5as7FVGr389VqV9UHL5c465E/image3.jpg) img src

The next time you go out in the night, take a closer look at the sky full of stars, of how they shine in the lightness of being. Take a closer look at how the universe is always turning and expanding with all of its innumerable wonders. You are one of them. Life begins at the side of these stars, and you are a star of your own in the infinity of this creation.
