All you have to do is simply look around and you will find a great deal to be thankful for, regardless of how bad you think you have it or how bad off you are. Take a moment and ask yourself what you have to be grateful for: family, friends, a place to live, your health, the country you live in and the freedoms you have, just for starters. You don’t have enough paper to list all the things you have to be grateful for. As a martial artist, never take anyone or anything for granted. You are truly blessed to have everything you have in this life. A person with gratitude is happier in life and people appreciate them much more. Take nothing for granted. And as a martial artist, you are charged with showing your gratitude to those around you every day. The question is how do you do this?
