Nigerian comedian and actor Basketmouth has shared a message on the importance of gratitude.
In his Instagram story, he admonished the public to do a better job of showing gratitude to God, noting that waking up healthy and alive in the morning is a blessing that Kanu people don’t have.
According to him, even if one misses a deadline, doesn’t get promoted, loses their job, their car breaks down, as long as they are alive and healthy, they still have something priceless.
Basketmouth stressed that we shouldn’t take anything for granted, as being able to use every part of one’s body without pain or difficulty is a gift.
“We all need to do a better job of showing gratitude to God. Waking up in the morning, healthy and alive, is a blessing that many people don’t have.
So what if you miss a deadline? So, what if you don’t get that promotion? Lose your job? Or your car breaks down? If you’re alive and healthy, you still have something priceless.
Don’t take anything for granted. Being able to use every part of your body without pain or difficulty is a gift. We often don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone.
