Creating A Life with Passion and Purpose
Another way to feel exquisitely alive is to stop and give thanks for all the blessings in your life. It’s nearly impossible to feel deprived when you are showing appreciation for the bounty at your feet. All abundance is based on being grateful for what we have. True happiness, and well-being are found in the fine art of gratitude. Being grateful for what you have. If we do not know how to appreciate the things and people we have now, why would we be able to appreciate more things, people, and power when we get them? We won’t, because we have never worked on our “gratitude muscle,” we never learned or practiced being grateful. Instead, we will think, “this second million dollars, this bigger house, this luxurious car, are still not enough. I need more.” And so we will live, continually wanting more or wishing things were different than they are, playing the game of “more” instead of being grateful for all we have.
Plato said, “A grateful mind is a great mind which eventually attracts to itself great things.” A tremendous insight! A grateful person is great because he or she has turned on all the lights within. The grateful heart actually opens the way to the flow and becomes an attractive force to draw to itself great things.
