Tough times are a part of our lives, it's never smooth sailing for anyone, and with tough times comes in splurge of emotions. If we notice our behavioral patterns we will see that we show more emotions when we are going through tough times in life, we react more and we don't have control towards our emotions compared to when life is smooth sailing for us..
Our emotions and feelings depends on the way we perceive our thoughts, situations and the world. There are two end points, one being how the things are which are factual and the other end being how the things should be which are our expectations and the distance between these two points decide on our attitude. Like any two polarities these two also never meet, cause whatever come we will always have a little higher expectation to that.
It is very important to be grateful in any situation of our life, when we approach life with a grateful mind we create a complete different perspective to life. When we turn on our thoughts of worry, anxiety into the thoughts of gratefulness we will see that we will have smoother approach to deal with our hard times and with our own thoughts of gratefulness we will help to reduce the intensity of our problems.
We always have a choice of being gloomy and complaining about everything in life or being grateful for whatever we have an attract abundance. When we keep complaining in life we attract a lot of negativity in our life, but at the same time when we take life cheerfully, ready to face any situation, being grateful to whatever is coming up our way we attract abundance in our life.
We always feel that tough times never pass and smooth times never stay, it is all because of how we perceive, when we start looking at life from a broader perspective we will understand that everything that comes our way is a part of our learning.
If we look back at our life and remember any instance which was tough on us, we will see that when it ended it gave some learning to us and through it we could rise to a better person.
Being Grateful in the tough times is not very easy, Gratitude allows the goodness to magnify but its not easy to have an attitude of gratitude in the tough times of life, but when we understand the greater good for us and adapt the attitude we will understand the power of Gratitude.
The attitude of gratitude allows us to bounce back from any situation in life. It gives us the power to move ahead and never give up. Everything comes to us as a blessing. Gratitude brings in wholeness to life.
With Love and Angels Blessings 💖💖👼🏻👼🏻

When the ego is so big, its hard to feel gratitude. I love your article.
Sometimes our hurt feelings is really our hurt ego. when we forget about ourselves and love others selflessly there is no room for your ego and hence no room for annoyance and hurt feelings.
I also recently learned that its so important to interpret things the positive way in regular conversations. A lot of the time when people say stuff to me, i tend to interpret it in the worse possible way. For example, theres a guy on my job who always says to me "don't work too hard". At first i would get irritated, i would wonder who told him i'm working hard? why does he think i'm working hard?. Now when when he says that i just say " ill try not to" or "don't work too hard either".
So if someone makes a mere comment and moves on, you should take it the best way possible and move on also.
You havr articulated it very well. The only one thing one needs to do is being Conscious, when we do that automatically the big picture comes into perspective.
Good post...
I agree firmly and practice this to be positive and greatfulvibes always thanks @nainaztengra
You are quite right, a positive attitude even in adverse periods of our life can help carry you through and become stronger.

And what we learn from such situations become lessons for lifetime :)
I like to think tough times can lead us to be stronger so are very formative for us
Very good post, Greetings know me new in steemit, please help if there watu please see my post
True they set a base for us in many areas of life. And what's the fun in life if everything is always smooth sailing. We need to learn and grow
Exactly hard times and hard knocks made me who I am 👍
Very good post, Greetings know me new in steemit, please help if there watu please see my post
I'm a huge fan and proponent of gratitude as it has been the one single, simple thing that has completely transformed my life!
We operate with a lens of perception. The lens that we put on is either a conscious choice, or an unconscious one. I've noticed that when I have the lens of gratitude on, suddenly my world looks so much brighter and beautiful.
There's so much more opportunity and I have a ton of energy to go out and experience things. Even when life knocks me down, with gratitude, I just get right back up, dust myself off, and (as you said) see it as a learning experience that only has made me stronger and more resilient.
I truly appreciate this post as I believe that humanity will change for the better if we would all understand the power of gratitude.
Thank you so much for sharing here @nainaztengra! I appreciate you!
Today I created a super fun and playful post that ALSO shares my perspectives on gratitude! I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts about it! If you're interested, you can check it out here: 10 Highly Influential Things I Do Every Single Day [Part 2]
Yes I did read your post and your thoughts are very beautiful. I wish more and more people read it and get some good messages from you.
Yes the lens between the conscious and unconscious behaviour decides the quality of our life
Saw your comment :) Thank you so much for the kind words. I really do appreciate it!
Spot on as usual @nainaztengra ... One quote that I read and got deep to me was: ["Can you help me?" - I thought I was being asked a favor - I didn't realize I've been offered one]
It's a deeper level of being grateful, not only to the things you receive from others, but also for the opportunities others give you by asking you for help.
Tbats so very true, when you get an opportunity to help others actually its an opportunity for your own self growth. Nothing happens without a reason in life
There is nobody In these world that does not face challenges. .challenges are mearnt to strngthen an individual.when onse life is smooth ,humans tend to doubt the existence of God..we should always be greatful.nice post.I love it
Thank you @drillzablaze, very true, challenges will be there, there is never always a smooth sailing, so just the way you accept good times so you should the difficult ones also
Hello dear @nainaztengra , another motivating, sweet hearted and honest post of yours.
Thank you very much!
You're wonderful ! 🌺
Thank you very much my dear :))
As much as the cynic in me wants to debate this, it's true.
Worked for me anyway
Hahaha, I can understand but there are times when we just accept certain things for our own good
Platitudes tend to become playtitudes for a reason haha, what do you think it says when maintaining satirical distence, if only for a moment, seems to take precedent over happiness
i think it means i suck
True that. Then nothing in life lasts forever. :)
Pure- Thanks nainaz!
Thank you my dear :)

Very well said
I currently have about 50 employees underneath me and I always tell them they have a lot of control on how they feel. Your internal thoughts can get the best of you. If you feel panicked you will panic, if you come in thinking you are going to have a bad day, you probably will. It you come in with a positive attitude, things will go your way more often.
I am sure you prove to be a great leader for your team. There are very few people in those positions who bring in value in the true sense for their teams. I miss that part of my life when I used to coach my team on life lessons. Its been more than 2 years I have quit and they still keep in touch and remember me fondly. I guess when you develop such bonding with people in your life by guiding them for their greater good all you get is pure love and respect from them, which I see you are already earning

Beautiful post I fell like a ring to the finger, I always take very seriously your words, I saw you at first as a colleague Reikista but I give that I have so much to learn, is dificult be thankful in difficult times, it costs me and lately I have not lived very times Beautiful but nevertheless I do not stop feeling blessed and I do my best to get the learning of Everything.

Yes my dear, the power of Gratitude is very strong, it attracts good in manifolds and its the first and most impirtant rule of Reiki.
I wish you good luck and happiness always my friend :)
Gratitude and attitude that tough times are only fleeting and are lessons to make our lives better is a great perspective to keep in mind.
True, time keeps fleeting giving us all the different experiences of life so nothing matters much then the attitude we hold in to that.:)
everyone has a life challenge, I think if we have the challenge of our life will be more mature, if we can finish it we are a great person, life is full of challenges, we must be a little patient
Gratitude Journaling may be a good technique to manage being grateful during challenging times. With this technique, you develop the habit of writing down things that you are grateful for. This habit can lead to greater happiness, increased self-esteem, fewer aches & pains and better sleep!
Thank you for this post. Now I see the big slight difference of being grateful and just being thankful. Having this mindset will let you be perceived as a tough person because you are not just being disgruntled everytime there is a hard blow in your life. You always take it as a trial given to you for you to solve and turning it into a brighter side, everything happens for a reason. That we should always look for the underlying meaning of every trials that comes up our way.
this is inspiring article....thanks @nainaztengra.............. :D
Do not look with regret,
do not also look at the future with fear but look around you with full awareness,
