Life is enigmatic, it is such a puzzle and you have to find the right pattern or the right formula to solve it. So what is the formula to solve all of the hurdles we have in life? Who am I for you to listen to anyway? So before I proceed, let me put a disclaimer that I am neither a motivational speaker nor a financial mentor and I don't have any degree to become one. Who am I is a mediator between the people who seek for a self-help information and the good things that I am learning along the way. I am on a deep debt myself and I am passionate about finding the right cure to straighten this (shame on me).

Gratitude, gratitude and more gratitude! That's what is on the menu for my very first Start your week right post. Gratitude seems to be a simple word but so powerful once you fully understand and start living with it in your life. Whenever a problem is on our way, we tend to forget how amazing our life is; it is a human nature(in my own perception) to view our struggles in life the same way we look at the tiny stain on a white and clean curtain. We tend to only notice small details and consider the entire thing as a mess. So today if this post has reached you, I encourage you to practice gratitude, gratitude and more gratitude. This essential thing will never give you a mess up day once you successfully obtain it. It has worked for me and it should work for you too.

It has been almost 2 months now since I posted my very first post here on steemit. I was so damn broke and jobless that time, I was just sleeping over to random houses of good friends. I have no first-degree family to rely on financially (my mother passed away, I'm the eldest among two siblings and my father's focused is with my stepmom and younger brother). It is tough, it is terrifying, and anxiety is always running on my head every day. I sold everything that I have just to survive. Isn't that devastating? Well, that's just a little bit of my personal struggles. I probably lost my mind now If I focus to all of them, I gave attention to great things around me instead.

During that hard period while I was anxious about my life; Every day, I searched and recognized the great things around me, I thank even the simple things like, the air I breathe, the new day I have, the good people who are there to help me, even the access I have to the internet and most of all, at least I can still afford to eat three times a day (most of them are free). With this kind of view, I never felt bad no matter what. I finally felt blessed because I changed my level of contentment. Things are changing now for me, I am grateful for my aunt and her family for allowing me to stay in their house while I'm establishing myself. I finally found a place to call home. I was able to finally buy myself new eyeglasses for my weakening eyesight and today, I am proud to share that I am slowly getting back on my feet. I may not have a good paying job but I am still thankful, I am pretty positive that I will soon be able to run again and fulfill my dreams because of this realization.

"Final words"

Life is designed to be tough, even rich people do have problems too. Life will give you multiple roadblocks but you must not stop! Find another way to get to the place where you want to be but never step into somebody else's shoe. Set a goal, set something you can look at whenever you are feeling lost and down; that way, you will never run out of roads to use to keep on going with life. Stop whining, stop complaining, nobody's going to knock on your door and hand you what you are looking for. Go out and search for it. Change your views, if you are complaining but not doing anything to change your situation it only means that you are just fine and not really hurt at all. You can't resolve anything in just one snap, a genie is just a fiction we all know that, don't give up! It may take a little while but I guarantee you that behind the dark clouds, the sun is always there to shine on you! Start your day right, do not focus on the bad, instead look at the good things you have in life and be thankful! Gratitude, gratitude and more gratitude.
