Why do you suppose I chose this particular quote for this week??
It seems that many people don’t understand the power of gratitude and instead they spend time comparing themselves, their life or business with others.
You’ve heard about the Law of Attraction which is about positivity and being thankful for everything. The Universe only works if you work with the Universe! What you put out, is usually what you get back!
Each day blessings come to you that can make your life better in some way, if not today, then tomorrow or the next day. So it’s important to rejoice and be glad!
When you show and feel gratitude, blessings multiply! Like everyone, you’re all about energy, so feeling grateful for the good things in your life sends out vibrations that attract even more good things! This is one of the ideas behind the Law of Attraction!
People have a basic need to feel appreciated and when you fulfill that need it often brings greater joy and happiness.
Showing gratitude will bring you more success in both your personal and professional life.
- Your family ties are strengthened.
- Friends, clients, co-workers and business associates become much more loyal.
- Your relationship with your partner/spouse becomes more enduring and passionate.
Does this mean to receive these benefits you need to spend all day running around like a gratitude hound? Not at all! Showing the people in your life your gratitude and appreciation is quite simple and sends good energy into the Universe.
Each day brings new things to be thankful for and new opportunities to make your life wonderful.
A simple way to keep track of appreciation for things in your life is to keep a gratitude journal. Make a list of 3-5 things big or small that you are grateful for each day. It might be the sky is blue or someone said hello or you did something for someone else. List them in your journal and at the end of each week or month go back over your journal so you can re-enforce the feelings, maybe even reflect on them a little and take a look at how you feel.
Please don’t say you don’t have time to write them, we all have time to do the things we really want to do and this takes about 5 minutes. I don’t have time is just an excuse.
Use your talents to help people. You were given many unique qualities and talents. Sharing your gifts with those less fortunate is an excellent way to show your gratitude or blessings. It helps others and also brings satisfaction and fulfillment to you.
I know that it’s not so easy to do things now as it was before Covid so although I probably won’t be allowed to serve dinner to the homeless on Thanksgiving or Christmas, I’m sure there will be something I can do to give back.
Even though I know not everyone opens and reads it, I am grateful for each one of you that receives the Weekly Wisdom. (approx. 600 people) I hope that those of you that do read it, get something from it each week.
That’s it for now. Have a fantastic week.
‘Til Next Time
Live life with abundance and gratitude
