If you think you have nothing in life to feel Gratitude, this will change your perception

Much importance is given to Expressing Gratitude in life. We all have read/heard that the Law of attraction, begins from feeling happy and expressing Gratitude. Expressing Gratitude certainly allows more better things to flow in life.

Experiment it yourself : Give a chocolate to 2 little kids, one smiles and says thanks but the other says there is nothing, i already have. Next time you would love to give a bigger chocolate to the 1st kid but you will certainly escape from giving anything to the second one.

Same is the Universe/the God for us, its our choice what kind of kid we choose to be. Well, many may feel they really can't express Gratitude, they don't know for what to feel the Gratitude.

If you too think you don't have much in life to be grateful, you must read this..

1. You are always taken care of

Did you remember the last time you escaped a big accident? Or do you remember that you make mistakes but still you get the motivation or you just meet someone who inspires you. You may not be perfect for yourself, still you are perfect child of God. Even after numerous blunders he has the love & care for you always. The same way your parents or friends or spouse or may be someone else , is always there with you, all you need is to look around. Love & Be loved!

2. Your Parents

Your parents gave you this life. Your mom truly cared for you while you were in her womb & brought you into this world with the Divine Blessings. With all the care & love you have grown up, to explore your own vistas in life. Your parents not only pass on the heritage of virtues to you, but also inspire you to become what you want.

3. You have food, shelter and clothing

Have you ever wondered what your live would have been if you were born in a family which lacked even the basic necessities.. You may crave for better things, but at least you have something. There are millions people all over the world who don't even get the basic requirements. You much luckier than so many. For once, go and sit beside a road side beggar or just observe his life, standing at a distance, you will realize how lucky you are!!

3. You have a fully functional body

We are in a habit of taking things for granted. That is the major reason why we miss to be grateful for the things, for which we should be highly grateful. You have your five senses : sight, hear, smell, touch & taste ; working perfectly well. You have feet which allow you to travel ; the hands & fingers, which allow you to do almost all your works ; the brain, which makes you the best among all other species on earth ; and the list is truly endless. Just feel the gratitude with every breath!!

4. You can read & write

Wake up from slumber & identify there are numerous success stories around you. You can go to the nearest library or surf the internet & know how a simple guy became Benjamin Franklin or Einstein or Newton. Yes you can read this article or any other piece of writing, to be inspired. You can pen down your own feelings & thoughts. Still the literacy rate is not 100%, there are many who just can't imagine reading & writing. Refer to the factual data.

5. You have the sun, moon, stars & the flowers to enjoy the beauty of nature

The nature has given you so much. You don't even need to go far away to see the marvels of the nature. Be thankful that you live on this mother earth, which is taking care of your recreation along with providing you food & water. Feel the bliss while seeing the flowers, listening the chirping birds in the early morning hours. Experience the nature, while day changes into night & vice-versa, you will realize the vastness & beauty of this creation.

6. Science & technology

“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.” ~Albert Einstein

We have this internet, it allows us to be in contact, we share, we connect. Telephones have replaced telegrams. Television & Amusement parks. Computers. Tablets. Fans. Electricity. Cameras to capture the moments. There is so much to feel gratitude to the great minds who discovered & invented the miracles of mystery.

Life is all about the perceptions. These perceptions are our own choices. Every moment in life has something or the other to feel gratitude. But we always see the things which we lack, we don't think about what we already have. There are numerous small blessings in life we all have and these make our life even more meaningful :

• You reached home safely the last night, you didn't met with an accident

• You slept peacefully, last night, a civil war didn't broke out in your area

• You  ate proper food, there wasn't anyone to mix poison in your food

• You have nice clothes to wear, your clothes are not torn

• You live in a free world, not in the kingdom of a king, were you could be a slave

• You can breathe fresh air, there isn't some poisonous gas alien attack on earth

• A person standing at the grocery store billing counter allowed you to be first

• The kid next door gave you a beautiful smile

• You just met a old lady sharing her lessons of life

 As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them - John F. Kennedy

There are truly so many things which collectively make our lives happy. You may be happy because of your spouse. you may be successful because of your teachers. You may be able to smile because you have someone to share your tears. You may be wearing branded clothes because you have money. You may be self satisfied with your job, because your passion has become your profession. You can use your brain, your thoughts to manifest whatever you want. You have immense power.

 Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation - Brian Tracy

Each one of us has something or the other to be grateful, but all must be grateful for the fact we have the gift of life. We have moments of smile. We can express emotions : tears, anger, laugh, shout, cry. We can feel things. Isn't it great to live with the vicissitudes of life. The ups and downs of life make us grow. We can commit mistakes and can laugh at the same years after!!

For sure, there are challenging situations in everyone's life, but still he who feels the gratitude attracts even more reasons to be more grateful in future. Hence it is all about the choices we make.

Just realize that each moment has something to feel the gratitude..
