and why you should stay away from those with a low emotional IQ.
Gratitude is an art, a practice that requires mindful cultivation. To assume that waking up healthy each day is guaranteed is a misconception. Our health, a gift from a higher power, is something to be cherished. Taking this for granted is a grave oversight.
Failing to appreciate the fundamental gift of life leads to a pervasive lack of gratitude. For your own mental well-being, it is vital to distance yourself from those who do not appreciate even the small blessings.
Life’s beauty lies in the freedom of choice. We decide who we interact with, what we wear, how we spend our time, and where we go.
As someone who strives to be kind, compassionate, and understanding, I have learned the importance of not wasting my time, space, and energy on the ungrateful.
Acts of kindness, given freely and without expectation, can be met with entitlement by the ungrateful. These individuals often feel they deserve your time and effort, and their emotional and mental struggles can lead to lashing out, disrupting your peace.
The challenge arises when dealing with such individuals disrupts your personal growth. Their ingratitude can provoke reactions that pull you away from the person you are striving to become.
Recognize the signs of ingratitude early and do not hope for change that is unlikely to come. Their attachment to negativity and lack of self-awareness is their burden, not yours. Your strength lies in choosing not to give them a chance to impact your life. More often than not, they do not deserve it.
