Be grateful for your defeats –
Pressure makes diamonds.
Be grateful for your failures –
Demise advances evolution.
Be grateful for your pain –
Muscles grow when you break them.
Be grateful for your tears –
Wet eyes see much more clearly.
Be grateful for your humiliation –
Nothing teaches humility better.
Be grateful for ridicule –
Now you know how to be funny.
Be grateful for your loss –
Perhaps you lost a drag.
Be grateful for your disappointments –
Now you are free of illusions.
Be careful what you wish for –
Some dreams are poisonous traps.
Be grateful for your unhappiness –
Discontent is the best motivator.
Be grateful –
And life will teach you how to succeed.
