Often times, many people think being grateful is about what you have achieved, which isn't true. Being grateful is about appreciation, you don't have to wait to become or do something to be grateful. You can be grateful right now because you are blessed and there are things and blessings you have now that you can show gratitude for. I believe gratitude is what takes us to the next level, waiting to embrace gratitude will simply hold you back. Applying gratitude is what will push you forward in life and allow you to appreciate what's to come.
