Be Grateful. From the Ibex Insulated Tumbler guys


Be Grateful
Unlikely Things To Be Grateful For
We all take stock of monumental moments in our lives, like promotions at work, holidays with family, the birth of a baby - but what about the tiny treasures?

There's a lot of stuff that make us smile throughout the day. In addition, some of our misfortunes can even be great sources of gratitude, if we allow them to be.

Need a little help recalling some things to be thankful for? We've got you covered:

1. Mistakes
You've just experienced something that doesn't work and you're allowed an opportunity to learn and grow from it. Think of mistakes as building blocks for your future success - you learn what not to do, what doesn't work and what to do instead.

2. Unfair success
We all know one person who seems to have it all. Look at whatever that "lucky" person has received, achieved or accomplished, as proof of what's possible for everyone.

3. Irritating family
If you're irritated by a family member, remind yourself how fortunate you actually are to have that family in the first place. We all can use a little reminder from time to time!

4. Unaccomplished dreams
We all need something to look forward to and work toward. Success is a moving target - and not all of our dreams can arrive at once.

5. Boredom
Next time you're bored and upset about it, take a moment to appreciate the presence of peace and quiet. A lot of people are juggling so many things in their lives that a little boredom can be a welcome break.

All the best,
IBEX Team
