012: Gratitude Part2

Spiritual Awakening - Expanding Times Fireside Chats

Why should the simple act of thinking about who and what we’re grateful for make such a big difference in our life?

Because it reminds you of the positive things in your life.~ It makes you happy for the people in your life, whether they’re loved ones or just a stranger you met who was kind to you in some way.~ Gratitude turns your attention to what you DO have instead of what you don't.~ Utilising The Power Of Gratitude is an extremely important component of attracting all the abundance and happiness you long for in your life, and developing an attitude of heartfelt gratitude for your current blessings releases the energy for receiving even more.

Because it turns “bad” things into “good” things.~ Consistently thankless people tend to think that material goods, such as a big-screen TV, or winning the lottery will make them happy.~ Having problems at work? Be grateful you HAVE work.~ Not enough money? Start to feel grateful for the money you DO have and watch it increase exponentially.~ Be grateful you have challenges, and that life isn’t boring!!~ Be grateful that you can learn from these challenges. Be thankful they make you a stronger person.

And as Tony Robins says... it's not the things you have that ever make you happy anyway, but who you become along the way!Because it reminds us of what’s REALLY important. It’s hard to complain about the little things when you give thanks that your children are alive and healthy. It’s hard to get stressed out over paying bills when you are grateful there's a roof over your head.

Because it reminds you to thank and validate others. People who recognise the blessings they have tend to recognise they'll get happiness from things like fulfilling friendships and relationships—which, we know, are the REAL sources of joy and happiness.

The simple act of saying “thank you” to someone can make a HUGE difference in that person’s life.

Calling them, emailing them, stopping by to say thank you … just taking that minute out of your life to tell them why you're grateful toward them is SO important to them. People like being appreciated for who they are and what they do. It costs you little, but makes someone else happy. And making someone else happy will make you happy.

If you want more things in your life to be grateful for, simply learn to give what you want to receive MORE of... give more of your gratitude and appreciation to the Universe and share that joyful vibration with the Cosmos! The Universe always gives us more of what we focus on so it's prudent to focus on things that make us feel GOOD ~ not things that make us contract and feel bad!Tune in to today's show and get another dose of gratitude... you'll hear how it REALLY ROCKS!
