Things To Know About Gratitude Abundance

By Millie Laker

How grateful are you today? Gratitude abundance teaches you to be grateful for the little things in order to get the bigger things in life you need.

A grateful attitude can help you to overcome the negative thinking that may rule your life. You do not have to look far to find many things you should be grateful for.

Many healthy people take their health for granted. Those who have lost the blessing of health may realize too late how grateful they should have been for those healthy years. With good health, you can work to replace anything else that is lost, even if you must start from scratch to regain the loss.

Most of us should be grateful for the shelter that we have over our heads. Around the world today, there are millions of persons that would be grateful to have only one of the rooms in our homes, no matter how run down that home may be, to protect them from the rain, cold or heat that is outside tonight.

Loot at the luxuries you have that make it possible to read this article. You have your computer as well as power. For millions around the globe these do not exist.

Have you stopped to be grateful for the food you have in your home. Tonight millions of children will go to bed hungry. These children are not just in third world countries, but may be just around the block from your own home. They could be down the street or even next door. Yet we find ourselves not wanting what we have but something else, so we head out to dinner without a second thought.

Take time to be grateful for your job. Remember that in the recent downturn in the economy many people have lost their jobs as well as their primary means of supporting families. Even so, many will have at least a year's eligibility to unemployment compensation. Without leaving their home, they have money coming into the home on a weekly basis.

When was the last time you stopped to be grateful for your family of origin. When you were a baby and a child unable to care for yourself, they offered nurture and love. Tonight, thousands of children will go to bed in the home of a foster family and could by moved by the courts tomorrow. Thousands more continue to live in abusive homes and will go to bed in fear tonight, hoping that their fears do not become a reality.

With many things to be grateful for, many people still live life focused on only the negative things that have happened. They choose to focus on what they do not have rather on the blessings that are a part of life. The result of their negative thinking is those very things they long for are being pushed away from their lives.

Gratitude abundance teaches you to start being thankful for the little things and as you change your way of thinking you will begin to use positive thinking to receive those things you do need in order to be very happy.
