30 Thankful Quotes To Remind You To Count Your Blessings

They say we should sometimes take a
break and just appreciate the smaller things in life. But how often do we
actually do it?

We live in a world where the more we have, the less grateful we become. And we’re not talking here about material stuff. We’re talking about the things that lie at the foundation of anything you’ll ever be able to accomplish -- your health, your time and the people around you.

All of the above are gifts that are given to us freely, but can be taken away at any second. So take a moment to be thankful for all these gifts you normally take for granted. Not only it will make you feel more present, but it will also make you happier.

The following thankful quotes will
teach you to see things in a more positive way. You’ve had a bad day at work?
At least you have a job. You don’t like today’s ‘menu’? Well, at least you have
something to eat. Keep in mind that there’s always something to be grateful
for.

Here are 30 thankful quotes to remind you of all your blessings:

25 Great Immanuel Kant Quotes on Pure Reason and Morality

Immanuel Kant (22 April, 1724 – 12 February, 1804) was a great German philosopher of the Enlightenment Era. His most popular work is the Critique of Pure Reason . Before becoming a full professor at the University of Konigsberg he worked as a tutor while exploring the middle ground between rationalism and empiricism . Kant argues that humans only believe in the things that are sure to exist; things we’ve seen or touched. In reality, there are many other things out there that remain unknown to us yet, but that doesn’t make them less real. Kant focused on ethics and morals and the way they affect our reasoning . He proposed a moral law called the “categorical imperative” -- an unconditional obligation often known as the principle of universalizability.

21 Patricia Highsmith Quotes to Awaken Your Mind

Patricia Highsmith (January 19, 1921 - February 4, 1995), was an American writer, best known for her intriguing psychological thrillers that are a real treat for those who love the genre. However, not all Highsmith’s writings are about sociopaths and murderers. In fact, some of her works are so different, it’s hard to believe that they were written by the same person Sadly, Highsmith lived an unhappy childhood – she didn’t meet her real father until she was 12 years old and her eccentric mother would constantly bug her. By the age of eight she was reading mental illness studies that fascinated her at the time and would later become useful for her writing. She didn’t want her work to be too similar to that of other mystery authors so she preferred to get her inspiration from reading about crimes in the press.
