I totally agree with Anthony Robbins' assertion, "When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears."
There is calmness to life in gratitude, a quiet joy. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. As you ponder about all the things in your life you're grateful for, you will be amazed at the never-ending thoughts that come back to you, of more things to be grateful for.
Gratitude helps you grow and expand spiritually, mentally, financially and emotionally. It brings joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of those around you. In the words of Wallace Wattles this is more evident, "The daily practice of gratitude is one of the conduits by which your wealth will come to you." Henry Ward Beecher remarked, "Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul." Gratitude is the great multiplier of life. Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot. The easiest way to bring lack into your life is by being ungrateful to God.
Gratitude is the best attitude. Great battles have been fought and won with gratitude and praises without the use of any physical weapons. Saint Ambrose said, "No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks." A thankful heart leads to a great life. It turns what we have into enough.
Nothing will enlarge your life more quickly and dramatically than gratitude. Dr. John Demartin wrote, "Whatever we think about and thank about, we bring about." G. K. Chesterton added, "Gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder." Nothing will diminish your life more quickly and profoundly than being ungrateful. It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy.
"The best way to show gratitude to God is to accept everything, even my problems with joy," said Mother Theresa. When disappointment causes you to slip, stumble, slide into discouragement, then lift your mood upward by giving thanks to God for all things. Gratefulness is the key to happiness. Practicing gratitude will lead to open door and bring God's blessing into your life.
People who aren't grateful are not givers. They rarely think about others; they think only of themselves. Their selfishness keeps them from sowing and their ingratitude makes them wonder why they don't reap harvest.
This Is Your Day: Make gratitude your daily companion and make God your partner for life.
