EXPRESS GRATITUDE

• Before you complain about school, remember that some people can’t even get an education.

• Before you complain about getting fat, remember that some people don’t even have any food.

• Before you complain about your job, remember that some people don’t even have any money.

• Before you complain about cleaning the house, remember that some people don’t even have any shelter.

• Before you complain about washing the dishes, remember that some people don’t even have any water.

• Before you complain about all these things on social media using your smartphone, without any consideration of how blessed you are, just be thankful for a minute.

 

Being thankful is one of the simplest, and yet most powerful, habits you can cultivate. By counting your blessings daily, you can begin to condition your mind to look for the good in everything around you. Soon enough, you’ll unconsciously begin to see the bright side of things and feel better about life.

You can’t feel bad while you’re feeling thankful. As simple as showing gratitude sounds, most people struggle with it. It’s much easier to focus on burdens than on gifts; to devote your attention to the things you don’t have, rather than the things you do have.

Some of the most successful individuals on this planet, are successful with this phrase: ‘Greatness starts with being grateful’.

When we becomes more mature we understand the value of thankfulness. You can’t feel joy without being thankful; being thankful is a vital component of happiness.

Furthermore, by expressing gratitude, we not only transform our vibrational state to become more magnetic to the good things, but we also become able to put things into perspective. We go through each day constantly comparing ourselves to others, and most of us rarely acknowledge that we have what others may desire. We also tend to compare ourselves to those we consider more fortunate than us, rather than those who are less fortunate.

Just think of the amount of people who have to live through war on a daily basis. But we’re completely safe from such troubles, and many more that we hear about in the news.

It’s easy to say ‘thanks’ without really meaning it. The key to showing gratitude is to feel thankful.

The more you count your blessings, the more blessings you’ll have to count.

Too many of us direct our energy towards our fears. I’m not saying your problems don’t exist, but try instead to focus your energy on solutions to those problems. The Universe is abundant in all areas; the illusion of fear is the only limitation we have.
