"The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more you will have to express gratitude for."
-Zig Ziglar-
Since we are small, we all are being taught to say 'thank you' whenever we receive something. Well, saying 'thank you' is not just to show that we have good manner, or just a matter of etiquette. There is deeper meaning in saying 'thank you', that is, to acknowledge and give thanks heartily to what we receive. By being grateful, we all come to know that there are so much of well-being in our lives, there are so many good things that are around us, sustaining us, feeding us, contributing to our growth and expansion.
The things that we can be grateful for are countless.
The list is endless, forever expanding.
"And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude."
-Wallace D Wattles-
Do you realise that when you are being grateful, you feel so wonderful, everything goes well?
Do you realise that when you give thanks sincerely, you receive more of what you are thankful for?
Yes, indeed. It must be that way. It is designed that way. It is law.
When you grateful for what you have sincerely, you're actually sending out signals of "give me more of that" to the universe, and you receive more of that.
Think about this.
When you give thanks sincerely and are grateful for someone when he/she gives you something, what happens?
He/she wants to give more.
"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate."
-Oprah Winfrey-
Instead of taking things for granted, let's start give thanks to everything that contributes to our lives, growth and expansion.
All we have to do is to open our eyes and look, there are so many things that is contributing to our good lives.
It can be the LCD monitor you're looking at right now.
It can be the mouse you're using to scroll down the page right now.
It can be the electricity supply you're using now.
It can be the internet access that we have, for it provides us the platform to get the world connected a-click-away.
It can be the blogger server, for it provides a platform for us to blog.
Inspired by Rhonda Byrne, I started to write my gratitude journal every night before I sleep. I would start by writing "Today I'm grateful for__________".
Do you feel inspired to write your own as well?
Also, thank you for reading my blog.
"The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. Therefore it tends to become the best. It takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best."
