Gratitude, The Catalyst for Blessings
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.” ~ Cicero ~
Many people take for granted that we live and breath each day. Some even feel entitled to wake up daily and go about their regular routines, never once thinking about the blessings that life brings. Without gratitude, life is merely a routine. As the saying goes “Same ole stuff, different day”.
Expressing gratitude each day for being alive allows The Universal Mind to reveal to you those things that you may have never dreamed of. Being grateful opens windows and doors for blessings to pour forth for you and others.
The Bible tells us to be thankful in all things. Although it may be difficult to be sincerely grateful for things or events that you may perceive as negative, it is equally important not to express resistance to anything. Resistance is the absence of gratitude and what you resist persists.
Resistance is focusing on what you don’t want and resistance creates a force that draws to you what it is that you are resisting. This focus can only draw more of that which you are focusing on.
Gratitude is an acceptance of things the way they are, which in turn resonates and projects a much different energy creating a magnetic force that is conducive to attracting the desired outcome.
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~ Melody Beattie ~
