How often are we grateful to the world around us? Not much I guess....
As a child we were taught to thank— people,
circumstances, and the Lord; perhaps the reason being a simple courtesy. However,
the courtesy fades with time, we forget the most crucial need of the
hour—“Gratitude”. Why?
We cry, we crib, we squabble on things we don’t have; but
have we ever felt miraculous of the things we have? Very few indeed!
The Universe is abundant, rich with resources we’ll ever
need. Nevertheless, the need becomes endless and we forget--we are abundant. I
remember a quote, I read in Quran—
“Gratitude for the
abundance we have is the best insurance that the abundance will continue”
Gratitude changes life, trust me! Gratifying gave me abundance; in the midst of
a difficult situation we always find a bit to be thankful about; find one, the
second follows and so on all by itself and thus we are abundant again.
I always wanted to live as a kid, full of fun and profusion.
We always had an imaginary friend we believed, played with it, we even had conversation
back then. Life wasn't as controversial as it seems now. That’s because
somewhere, somehow a bit of gratitude peek-a-booed through our desires.
Gratitude has always been the key to all the ailments we have.
It does not really matter—“If a glass is half empty or half full, be grateful
that you have a glass half filled with water and air”.
Feel gratitude from the core, the more you do it, the more
love you create and with love comes abundance in life.
Try this simple experiment today— Call up someone, perhaps an
important person in your life. Try (make a note--optional) thanking the person from heart for what he/she has done for you
You won’t believe the remarkable experience you will get. I
tried it--felt blessed. You should try it too. Best of your luck!
It’s time to get back to my burrow; I will be back with some
more of my experience.
Thank You!
Cheers J
