Loved this quote the moment I set my eyes upon it,'" Just one more thing I ask you Lord, give me a heart full of gratitude,"
It has so much intensity to it, especially bringing out the word, gratitude.
Are we grateful to each and everybody in our lives, or selectively so.?
I am a big believer in gratitude as it puts everything into perspective and lets you see how you have arrived at your destination, surely not alone, there will always be, always, someone who would have helped you climb there where you are, insignificant as you may think but without that particular link you could not have made it.
The first thing we should stress upon doing is count our blessings..so many, so abundantly.. our thank you could never be enough
We have to be grateful for everything that has happened in our lives, be grateful for all the positive things and watch them multiply, and watch the unpleasant situations, people, or even events just disappear into thin air ! Yes, as easy as that....
If you think of the negatives, you will realise how they keep pulling you down, down and down, into a bottomless pit.
Many "successful" people I know are not grateful and I would not even for a nano second want to be part of their "successful " lives.
Try this little excercise, whenever you are having a hard day, and feeling down, sit around quietly for a few minutes and go through the things that you have been blessed with your health, your friends, your support system i.e. family, your neighbours etc., etc., Magically you will find your mood being lifted.
To me just like everything Gratitude is a state of mind that has to be constantly maintained.
