When was the last time you were grateful for the things you have, for food u eat, for clothes u wear, for your house, family and relationship. for your health, Your ability to see, hear, breath and walk, or anything that currently gives you comfort !!
Really?? you need to be thankful for all of these? When I heard it first I was surprised t!! Out of curiosity, I started researching and reading about it and then, I was introduce to great power, “the power of gratitude” by Rhonda Byrne’s book “the secret”. We tend to take for granted the good that is already present in our lives. Just imagine losing some of the things we take for granted,
Trust me just applying gratitude in daily routine changed me and turned my life, so no matter who you are, where you are and what you do you can turn your life around by just being thankful, You must be thinking is it really possible to express gratitude when you are not feeling you have anything to be grateful for? When nothing seems to be going right, or life presents great challenges?
It can still be difficult but no matter what you going through, practicing gratitude can change your mood, your hope, your future, the question is how? All you have to do is shift your focus and energy from what you don’t have or what you willing to have, to what you already blessed with, count your blessings.
you need to start finding joy in small things instead of holding out for big achievements.
Try “Go 24 hours without complaining (not even once ) then watch how your life starts changing.”
When you’re grateful for the things you have, no matter how small they may be, you will see those things instantly increase. Expressing gratitude can make you a happier person, but there are advantages beyond happiness.Adding gratitude to your attitude can improve your relationships, productivity, health, and even your sleep. Researches shows that practicing gratitude increase your happiness by 25 %
If you practice gratitude a lot every day, your life will change dramatically and in ways that you can hardly imagine.
“The more you use gratitude every day, the greater the good you will bring into your life. It is all you have to do to completely transform your life in every single area, and on every single subject. There are no limits to the good that you can bring forth to you, and by practicing gratitude daily, you will increase and maximize your magnetic power to attract a life beyond your wildest dreams.” Rhonda Byrne, The Secret Gratitude Book

- As you make gratitude a way of life you will wake up each morning so excited to be alive, you will find yourself completely in Love with life.
