The Power of Gratitude

THANK YOU!!!! These simple yet very powerful words can change your life! I have found that by simply practicing gratitude for ALL the things in my life, I am happier and more at peace. Whether it be the people that are in my life, the circumstances, the things I own, the car I drive, the roof over my head, whatever comes my way I have learned that by having an "Attitude of Gratitude", I am able to see the blessings in all things. When you have more gratitude, things that would have weighed you down, like the breakup or the car troubles, or even a painful childhood, can all be seen differently through the eyes of gratitude.

Every thing I have been through has lead me to this point in my life, and I am grateful. It has not been all roses but I have learned to let my past experiences carve me into the person I am today. By being grateful, especially for the experiences I endured even as a child, which were very traumatizing, I am able to help others who have endured the same pain and it has taught me compassion and understanding and for that I am grateful.

I believe that once you allow yourself to start saying thank you to your Higher Power for EVERYTHING, you will be much happier and more at peace. Sitting down to write a list out of things, people, experiences and anything you feel, will allow you to flow from your heart and once you begin this practice, you can guarantee you will be blessed beyond measure. The more you are grateful, the more you will be given to be grateful for and the more you thank your past, the more peace you will have in your heart.

So, start now! Take 5 minutes to sit down and write 10 things you are grateful for and why! Make this a daily habit and you will be amazed at how your outlook on life changes for the better! THANK YOU for taking the time to read my article! I hope to have inspired you! Blessings to ALL!!!!!
