Gratitude

Gratitude, the attitude that sometimes seem counter-intuitive, especially when we look around and find no reason to engage in it.

It is defined as the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

Beyond that, it is a quality or trait that you can express by reflection, self and for the people, things and circumstances around you.

It has a few powerful side effects. Some include:

– A change in perspective

– Uplifting ones mood

– Creating a suitable environment, at least within ones mind, that facilitates good decision making

Gratitude for what, many ask?

Gratitude for Health, Sleep, Food, Body, Mind, Wellbeing, Peace of Mind, Finances, a job, career, income, roof over ones head, ability to earn, appreciate the way the world works and make a living out of it.

Gratitude for interactions, relationships with those around us, our families, children, parents, friends, colleagues, associates.

Gratitude for our professional situations, abilities, opportunities, overcoming challenges and much more.

To build this perspective into ones life is a gift one should bestow on ones self. It helps open up new perspectives at all times.

It also has immense benefits for your health – mentally, physically, emotionally. IT helps with better sleep, better self esteem, improved moods and much more.

The opportunities we have in this one life will be amplified and optimised by a quality such as Gratitude in our lives.

Gratitude to people also help forge better relations. It does not mean we should cease to have our own minds or always defer to what the people we are grateful to want, but it should be demonstrated genuinely, from the heart at every deserving opportunity. It is a privilege to have others support, care and help us.

We ourselves would do well to seek out people to support, care for and help. Not in search of gratitude or having them in our debt, but to show how grateful we are for the things that have come our way, without expecting anything from anyone in return.

Lastly, Gratitude to who?

Whoever you decide or However or Whatever you decide to show Gratitude to in your own way.
