How can Gratitude be of any importance!?

Before you read on, you can listen to this blog post as a post. Click here to listen to it now. Now, read on:


A statement got stuck with me, and it is, "Gratitude is an elixir to receive more." Simply put, if you ever wanted more in your life, you need to know the importance of giving gratitude. It's really that simple. Let's explore.


Gratitude is an elixir to receive more:

"To be deeply grateful for what one has received is not a Pollyanna view of life but a metaphysical approach." - Stephen Mitchell, "The Art of Happiness"


First, gratitude unlocks your ability to give more. It allows you to go beyond what you usually do for others and allow them the opportunity to reciprocate in their own way and time—not just when you want it. 


It was said sometimes that, "Expressing gratitude is the beginning of all virtues." - St. Hildegard of Bingen.


Expressing gratitude gives you real reasons to smile. You'll be amazed at how your heart and mind start to shift when you start seeing things that you can give thanks for in every area of your life, big and small. Once you start expressing gratitude, your pessimism about what the world has to offer becomes optimism, your cynicism becomes hope, and your greed becomes generosity. And that is a fact.

30 Days Challenge On How Does Gratitude Work

So, give yourself a 30 days challenge that no matter what the situation is, no matter how difficult you find yourself or whatever it is that you want to do, no matter the results of your endeavours, you will be grateful. You will see a massive turnaround in your life.


Now, word of caution. Gratitude is not a selfish emotion. Gratitude is the opposite of judgement. Judge not, lest ye be judged. Source: http://www.wordiq.com/definition/judgement.


Judgement is when you look at someone and think: "I don't like them". You see something wrong and you think: "I want them to change". You are directly involved in the negativity that someone brings with him into your life by judging him or her. Let go. Let God. You just remain grateful for the situation. Why? 


Once you start your 30 days challenge, all this negativity will seem to be popping up everywhere. Don't get drawn into it. Remain steadfast and give gratitude. If you lose your position and get drawn into these negative vibes, then you have to start your 30 days all over again. 

The Power of Gratitude is Beyond Measure

So in closing, give yourself the 30 days challenge. Experience more by giving gratitude.


You will be amazed at how all this negativity will just disappear of its own accord. Keep going, and keep being grateful.

The power of gratitude is beyond measure:


"I have never heard a man who was grateful, yet who spoke ill of anyone." - Benjamin Franklin.


The power of gratitude is so strong that you don't need to take any action on the outcome of your endeavours.
