It's easy to be grateful for the good things in life.
But appreciation for obstacles can sometimes show us so much more.

Grateful

Be grateful for mistakes.
Mistakes are what teach lessons.

Be grateful when you are tired,  
Your hard work often means that you have made a difference.

Be grateful for unaccomplished goals.
If all were reached, what would there be to work towards?

Be grateful for shortcomings;
they provide the prospect for improvement.

Be grateful when you don't understand;
It gives you the opportunity to learn something new.

Be grateful when times are trying.
Those times make you stronger.

Be grateful for progression. And persistence.
And days, good or bad.

Be grateful for difficulties.
How you handle them, speaks volumes to your character.
