Are you a grateful person? Gratitude abundance will teach you to be grateful for many little things that you already have in order to get the things you need.
Gratitude is an attitude of being thankful. While you may not think you have much to be grateful for, if you stop and think, you probably have more than you think.
One of life’s greatest blessings is health. Persons who are no longer healthy will remind you that they should have been more grateful when they had their health. Persons having health are able to start again even when everything else is lost. They may regain lost items and rebuild items of importance.
Most of us should be grateful for the shelter that we have over our heads. Around the world today, there are millions of persons that would be grateful to have only one of the rooms in our homes, no matter how run down that home may be, to protect them from the rain, cold or heat that is outside tonight.
If you are reading this, you likely have electricity in your home. You have a computer and power. Think of the millions to whom such luxuries do not exist.
Have you stopped to be grateful for the food you have in your home. Tonight millions of children will go to bed hungry. These children are not just in third world countries, but may be just around the block from your own home. They could be down the street or even next door. Yet we find ourselves not wanting what we have but something else, so we head out to dinner without a second thought.
Have you expressed gratitude for the job you have? In the recent economic recession, thousands of persons have lost their jobs and their primary means of supporting their families. Even so, most of these are eligible for at least a year to eighteen months of unemployment compensation. Without a job or working, they are bringing in 75 to 80 percent of the income that they had when working full time.
When was the last time you stopped to be grateful for your family of origin. When you were a baby and a child unable to care for yourself, they offered nurture and love. Tonight, thousands of children will go to bed in the home of a foster family and could by moved by the courts tomorrow. Thousands more continue to live in abusive homes and will go to bed in fear tonight, hoping that their fears do not become a reality.
Even with all we have to be grateful for, people continue to focus on the negative events of life. Their focus is on what they do not have rather on what they do have. If you start to focus on the positive and show gratitude, you can stop forcing away the things you need in life to be happy as a person.
Gratitude abundance teaches you to start being thankful for the little things and as you change your way of thinking you will begin to use positive thinking to receive those things you do need in order to be very happy.
