Power of Thoughts

Power of Gratitude: How this simple act can attract abundance for you?

How often do you count your blessings?


 

Gratitude is the simple act of appreciating what we have rather than crying /complaining about what we don’t. We often read on social media about ‘act of gratitude’ and how it changes people’s life but we never understand the importance of practising it on a regular basis.

Usually, we are so busy complaining about things that we have in our life due to which we often forget about appreciating the blessings we have. Well, just like a body detox drink is required to clean our body system so that our body can perform better. Similarly, we require a mental detox as well,  where we should just stop complaining for once, about the things going wrong in life and appreciating what we have.

The corona outbreak taught us so many things. It gave us a reality check and helped us to understand that counting our blessings is very important. So many people lost their loved ones, many were away from their family,  and many lost their jobs. The pandemic struggle is yet not over but it has already given us some serious life lessons that always existed,  but we never bothered to give it a thought. Pandemic taught us to appreciate what we have, being grateful for what we have can attract a lot of positivity.  Appreciation/ act of being grateful is subjective as some are grateful that they are with their loved ones, some were grateful for the job they didn’t lose while some were grateful for the food and shelter. Life has taught us so many things in just one year, lessons to never forget. Being grateful for what we have, the joy of giving and sharing, and the importance of mental peace.

The unsettling things are also crucial to grow in life but you need to find the balance between striving for a better self and satisfaction with what you have.

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” Oprah Winfrey
