Gratitude is the power that connects you to your true self.
Being grateful for everything you do have and everything you are creating is one way to start the process of changing your thoughts and beliefs.
Your thoughts and beliefs are what become your reality. When you can change your thoughts to ones of being and feeling grateful, your reality will start to change. Reality is just each persons “perception” of what is going on.
Have you ever been to a movie where everyone had a different review of the movie? Some people liked it, some hated it , some liked one part, but hated another. Life is really like that. Each persons background created that opinion or point of view.
When we can become more aware of our thoughts that are causing the feelings that we are having, we can begin to change what we have in our lives.
I am sure you have heard the saying – If you want to be loved – go out and love. If you want more money, go out and give money away. Whatever you want more of, you have to be able to give it yourself or be it yourself.
When I first started the process of being grateful, I could easily say “I am grateful for this day. ” (or whatever it is). I now can “Feel” grateful which is different from just saying you are grateful.
I have an index card on the corner of my computer that says this quote from Sara Breathnatch author of “Simple Abundance”
Gratitude Leads to Simplicity.
Simplicity leads to Order.
Order leads to Harmony
Harmony leads to Joy.
Joy leads to Happiness.
What are you grateful for today? Can you find something new that you have never been grateful for before?
