Friday, September 21 was National Gratitude Day.
I did an amazing ZOOM with Geetha Krishnan and Vismaya Rubin that day. We had so much fun!
One of the things we discussed was our favorite gratitude quotes.
Here are a few of mine plus a few comments from me:
“Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.” – Northrup Christiane
“A grateful mind is a great mind which eventually attracts to itself great things.” – Plato
You attract what you concentrate on. When you concentrate on gratitude, you bring more of what you appreciate into your life. You become a magnet for your dreams and desires!
“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” – Meister Eckhart
“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.” – Willie Nelson
When you concentrate on gratitude and your blessings, it changes the energy of your life which really does turn your life around. It can drag you up out of the pit of despair you were living in and bring you into the light. It lifts the burdens from your heart and starts letting in more joy and happiness.
“In times of doubt and indecision, cultivate gratitude. The exercise of gratitude will never fail to strengthen your faith and renew your purpose.” – Wallace D. Wattles
“Stop thinking gratitude as a byproduct of your circumstances and start thinking of it as a world view.” – Bryan Robles
“…it is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.” – David Steindl-Rast
Let the Universe / God / Source know that you are grateful for what you receive. That becomes the invitation for more of what you appreciate to show up. Allow that to become a habit, a way of life for you and your whole world will change.
Develop a habit of gratitude in which it is simply second nature for you to appreciate what you have, what shows up and the possibilities for more in your life.
Too often, people do not take the time to stop and appreciate everything that they have, big and small. They only think about the huge things that happen as being worth stopping to acknowledge and be grateful for, but they forget all the little blessings that come into their lives every day that should not be overlooked.
When you learn to see the beauty, the gratefulness, and the appreciation in the big and small, you realize just how much you really have to be thankful for.
It is then that you truly learn to live a Life of Gratitude.
