I used to be this person who took things for granted. In my mind I was like… ’’ Why would I be grateful? 🤷♀️well! maybe I have a family, I go to school, I have enough to eat, I got a roof over my head but that is absolutely normal. There is nothing to be proud of, my life is just regular and common. I would be grateful if I was born Bill Gate’s daughter or if I was as beautiful as Beyonce or if I had friends who gave me red bottoms👠 as a gift on my birthday or if I was doing my bachelors at Harvard. But none of this things is happening so I will just stay cool. I’m not complaining because I know there are people who doesn’t have what I have but….🙅♀️ no thanks don’t tell me to be appreciative while I don’t have everything I want” That is a reflection of what was happening in my head few years ago. I thought that by not complaining I was already doing a great job. I have prayed a lot for miracles to happen and the kind of miracles I expected was to see mountains moving and waters parted. unfortunately I have seen none of those things. It was an additional reason to not be grateful and not believe in miracles. These last 2 years things have happened in my life and they have been like a wake up call. I have realized that I have been too much focused waiting for big things to happen in my life and I forget to enjoy what I already had: my parents are not as rich as Bill Gates but they are very loving, understanding and they made a lot of sacrifice to make me who I am today…And even if my friends cannot afford to buy expensive shoes for my birthday, they can at least sing for me, take me out, have fun and they are always there when I need them. It is not how much we have but how much we enjoy that makes happiness. Now I have every reason in the world to be grateful, I no longer take things for granted: not because I have everything I want but because I have decided to enjoy what I already have. I am grateful for the love of my family, my friends who care about me, a random stranger who smiles at me. I am grateful for every breath. I appreciate every morning I open my eyes to see a new day, every night I reach home safe, every new experience ,every meal, every coffee, every laughter, every word, every silence, every moment ,every time and above all I’m grateful for being me. what is chance actually? what is luck? what is coincidence? Miracles are everywhere, life in itself is a miracle. Those are the things you understand the time you stop waiting for extra phenomenal signs, you realize that there is no big miracle than being alive. I'm leaving you this quote by Albert Einstein: “Coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous.” Recommend for you,click to read 👇 feminine-and-furious.html

Thanks Ineza for sharing your good story...i think that this is a common concept shared widely and people don't realize that life itself is a beautiful gift we were given and it is something important to live on with.

Who's behind the blogHello, I am Denyse INEZA
My blog's name "ishyapluma" is made of two words ishya and pluma. Ishya from my mother tongue(kinyarwanda)means prosperity and pluma is a Spanish word for pen. Being very introverted, I started blogging because I was so inside my head and I needed a way to get out of it. later on, it became a way of reaching out to my audience. I now write to influence, to inspire and to give hope for a prosperous future to me as well as to everyone reading this blog. welcome to Ishyapluma! Contact: +250784266072 Archives
