Have you learned more about gratitude?

“The unthankful heart… discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!” ~ Henry Ward Beecher

I hope that this week as caused you to count your blessings. One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is the gift of gratitude. As you go about thanking those who have added to your life, don’t forget to thank yourself.

Be grateful you are where you are, wherever that may be. You are where you are supposed to be and you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. Remember that our experiences are for us to learn and grow from.

No matter how much you feel that you are lacking in your life, it could be worst. So instead of complaining, look for the lesson and move forward with love and gratitude.

Love and gratitude go hand in hand. When you are grateful you have love in your heart. A life without love and gratitude is no life at all.

If you have not done so, start a gratitude journal. Condition yourself to wake each day in gratitude and retire each night speaking words of gratitude.

The more gratitude in your life the more you will have to be grateful for.

I will end with another quote:

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”~ Melodie Beattie
