GRATITUDE means to feel appreciation for something you have received. When you express it or when it is expressed to you, the result is pleasing, warm and I think it triggers an optimistic smile at the soul level. Gratitude is a BIG energy stimulator that is too often overlooked.
I suppose it gets overlooked because we are wrapped up in the HUMAN DRAMA. We get stuck in playing out all the day-to-day survival stuff and we end up exhausted at the thought of making lemonade from all those lemons. Who has the time or energy or the motivation to stop and express gratitude when so many of us are running around yelling. "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"
Silver lining? Skip it! The glass is half full? Stuff it! Look on the bright side? Screw it!
It's tough to feel optimistic about or grateful for anything.
Not so fast....let's not throw the baby out with the bath water! If thoughts are energy. and you
KNOW they are, then maybe it's time to reconsider the value of gratitude. If you quietly add gratitude to every word, touch, thought or experience that makes you feel good, then the energy around and within you will begin to change. Energy is like a giant magnet and you program it in whatever way you choose. You can program it like the rest of the herd and keep screaming about that sky, or you can stand apart, be your unique, wonderful self and program it with gratitude.
Expressing gratitude costs nothing and yet the payoff is an energy jackpot. Gratitude
accelerates energy. Gratitude integrates energy. Gratitude attracts like-energy.
And while you are at it, express a little gratitude for yourself....just for being bold enough to take that step.....just for being here....just for being you.
