There are many books, sages and gurus telling us about gratitude. They say- 'at the end of the day, bow down to the almighty and thank him for the wonderful day, for all good and bad.' That is definitely a great way to end a day but I ask 'is the almighty himself coming down and helping you in your day to day activities?' No never. He helps you through people around you.
So how often do we thank those people? From making a cup of tea in the morning to dropping us to work, cooking meals to doing all the odd jobs at work, there is always a hand helping us with everything, everytime in someway or the other.
Some of us do thank them. We do thank a favour, thank those who help us going out of their way, doing a bit extra than their job for us. But then, how many of us thank those who do their everyday duty to help us like our parents, our partner, our kids or our house helpers? They do their jobs out of responsibility, social or monetary but that occasional gratitude will change that into an act of love and respect.
Gratitude does have the power to better our lives if it is offered to every being helping us before it is offered to the almighty.
