What does being thankful even mean?

I have been learning more about this man by the name of Nick Vujicic. In case you have never heard about him, he was born with a rare disorder where he was born with no legs and no arms.

For the past two days I have been watching videos on YouTube of this man Nick. I've been listening to his messages, and I can't help but not focus to him. I keep asking myself, WHY? I am starting to realize I am so closely listening to him because he has no limbs.

Have YOU ever been to see a guest speaker and you couldn't pay attention? WE ALL HAVE.

My message today is going to be quite simple. "WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR"

So often in our lives we worry about how we look to others, what were doing because of peer pressure, being fearful, being a lone, etc.

Life is about CHOICES! Sometimes I feel like we do what is best for us in the future, or what others feel is best. I will ask myself and you this question....what is your purpose? Your PURPOSE in life? I don't know if I exactly know, and maybe you don't know as well.

Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, I feel like we all know what aspects in our lives make us happy. There are MILLIONS of unprivileged individuals that would LOVE to have someone to love, a family to come home to, a comfortable bed to sleep in, the ability to go to college, or even just have a close friend. I'm not sitting here talking about living your life to the fullest, all I am saying is...how can WE be thankful??

I don't know if I have the answer to that question? What I do know is that we all have a PURPOSE in our lives, and along our journey we will need help. People will come in and go from our lives, but whether they stick around or not SOMEONE will be in your life at some point for a REASON.

WHAT IS BEING THANKFUL MEAN?

1.) Do you have a dream?
2.) What makes you smile?
3.) What makes your heart tick?
4.) Who is the first person you would call if something bad or exciting happened?
5.) What are you thankful for?
6.) Who are you thankful for?
7.) Why are you thankful?

Questions upon questions upon questions. I wonder why sometimes if I am having a bad day I might go out in public and pretend everything is okay with a smile on my face so other people don't notice. Then when I am by myself that smile may not be there. I think we ALL at times do this one way or another.

I don't know what your purpose is in life, and I may not know mine exactly.

Maybe were just SCARED of what people think of you?

WAKE UP
LOVE YOUR LIFE
ITS OKAY TO HAVE A BAD DAY
WE ALL CRY SOMETIMES, AND IT IS NOT EASY.

We're all going through SOMETHING, trying to find that happiness!

Be YOURSELF, appreciate the PEOPLE in your life, and if your ever feeling lost and worried about your life, just remember one thing.

KEEP HOLDING ON, and while it may seem like you can't get up...YOU WILL.

I'll ask you again, what are you THANKFUL FOR?...Research you tube videos of this man..you'll be AMAZED.
