There are times in life when each of us has the wind knocked
out of us and, through hardship, the light within our souls
may be challenged. Often it's through the brightness of
appreciation, which fills our hearts when we are the
beneficiary of love and service, is gratitude. Universally,
we've all been blessed in countless ways.
Gratitude helps us grow. It brings us joy and happiness. And
as we express it, we bless the lives of all those around us. A
French proverb says, "Gratitude is the memory of the heart."
It has also been said that gratitude is not only the greatest of
virtues, but it is the parent of all the others. Anthony Robbins
said, "When you are grateful, fear disappears and
abundance appears."
Is it possible that becoming grateful is the answer to
overcoming fears and living happy lives? A good many
experts agree--the answer is yes! Gratitude is high-
frequency energy. It attracts all that is good. When we're
thankful, somehow, miraculously, life works for us.
Can we be grateful for everything and everyone? Absolutely.
Even the villains of our lives offer us gifts of knowledge,
peace, and reconciliation. A movie without a villain is boring,
and a life without challenges and enemies is dull as well. By
developing an attitude of gratitude and giving thanks for
everything that happens, we are better able to move forward
in life, realizing that every step forward is a step that helps us
obtain something bigger and better.
For this week's homework, pick up a notebook or a blank
sheet of typing paper. Place it in a convenient and noticeable
place. Every time you have a chance, jot down what you're
feeling grateful for. Focus your thought energy all week on
the good things in life--all that you have to be thankful for.
Look for opportunities to be a light of love and strength to
those who may be suffering. I promise--as you do so, you'll
find yourself having one of your very best weeks!
With love,
