If you have faced some level of crisis, confusion, chaos or critical situation that made you almost give up on life, then you'll need to read this.

Maybe you are currently at a point where you are not sure what step to take because of so much going on around your life.

Come to think of Titi right now who just graduated from school and cannot understand why she cannot get a job despite finishing with a good Second Class Honours (Upper Division).

Ironically, she scrolled through her WhatsApp status and saw Precious her classmate who finished with a Third class celebrating her employment into a top IT firm on the Island in Lagos.

Titi felt so pained and hurt considering the about she had to put into finishing well out of school with a good grade.

While all these were going on, she opened the WhatsApp group of her classmates where they got the news of 'what's up' with any of their colleagues and saw that Shade would be getting married that weekend to a rich guy in Ikoyi.

What is this again?

Titi's head started banging as though that was the end of life.

This one made her cry considering how she compared to Shade shunned every guy who tried approaching her on campus because she needed to stay focus on making a good grade.

Shade use to be that nightlife babe on campus who with that ended up finishing shool with a Second class lower. She is the kind of lady who would rather find time to catch fun when the knowledge from reading was not paying out.

She could get the underlying principles of any material and just apply them when questions are asked about them.

Titi thought about all these and felt so shattered about life.

, you may not currently be in the state Titi is but may be facing a situation that appears displeasing and undelightful to you.

You may be facing some difficulty with marriage, finances, career, academics, business, your life assignment amidst others.

Despite all of this, getting worried about them will not open the way to a solution except you do this Number #1 thing - GRATITUDE.

When you start confronting any situation in your life with gratitude and look away from the situation, it changes your mind and mental state towards how to overcome it.

When you can say "thank you, Lord", "I am grateful" or any word of gratitude in confusing states, it ignites positivity into your life and decisions.

The more ungrateful you are, the more disabled you become towards accessing a better life.

If only Titi could be grateful despite the successes of others, place a call across and wish her friends well wholeheartedly, there is a greater possibility of access her blessings.

The next time you are faced with that situation, always ask "what can I be grateful for?"

Viola! You just turned your mental mind from disability into productivity.

Promise me you would do this the next time you face any circumstances.

We will be wise.
