The Art of Gratitude

Filled under:

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today.

Have you used one to say Thank you?

One of the most potent , powerful word in the world today is the word "thank you". It has the power to transform our health, feelings, happiness, performance, relationship and entire success in life. You know how it feels when someone does not appreciate what you did for them,you know how it feels when they don't seem to acknowledge the sacrifice you went through. Not only that you'll not be happy, you'll never be motivated to make another attempt to assist them in any capacity. The attitude of gratitude my just be what a man needs to get to greater heights. Just like when you're "faithful in little things,you'll be faithful in much". When you're grateful, you're as happy as the person who helped you. Grateful people exhibit more happiness and the tendency of maintaining good and lasting relationship. Its absence disregards any effort made.                                  
  Meister Eckhart added                                                                                                                                     " If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough " 

Don't love life more than the giver lest you forget to say "thank you". Only if you'll appreciate what God has done, how far he has gone in saving you, you'll only discover that he has not started with you yet. What if you handed a gift to someone and they refused to reciprocate with appreciation, will you be likely to give them another? Of course it's a capital NO! So it's the same for life. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must learn to appreciate what is.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Ralph Waldo Emerson stated
" Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good things that come to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should also include all things in your gratitude. Being thankful creates room for inward reflection. It keeps you focused on the positives in your life, helps you see the great things you have and do, and put your worries and frustration into perspective."
