The Power of Gratitude

“Gratitude for the abundance you have received is the best insurance

 that the abundance will continue.”  Muhammad

                In the book The Power by Rhonda Byrne (which by the way is an excellent book to read and live by) she writes about the Key of Gratitude, one of the Keys of Power.

 “The Key of Gratitude states when you are grateful for the things you have, no matter how small they may be, you will receive more of those things.  If you are grateful for the money you have, however little, you will receive more money.  If you are grateful for a relationship, even if it’s not perfect, the relationship will get better.  If you are grateful for the job you have, even if it is not your dream job, you will receive better opportunities in your work. Because gratitude is the great multiplier of life!”

According to Rhonda Byrne, gratitude is the bridge to love.  “It is impossible to feel sad or have any negative feelings when you are grateful.  If you are in the midst of a difficult situation, look for something to be grateful for.  When you find one then look for another and another because gratitude is the bridge from negative feelings to harnessing the force of love.”

The power of gratitude takes practice.  The more you feel gratitude, the more love you give; the more love you give; the more you receive.  So practice gratitude every spare second you can, whether you are driving, walking, cleaning, playing, or working.  Give thanks from your heart for the love, joy, peace, and harmony.  Give thanks for your body, for your health, for your family, for your friends.  Give thanks for your home, food, water, money, and clothing.  Give thanks for the wonder of life, for the fun and excitement, for the sorrow and growth opportunities.  Give thanks for the Universe and its greatness.

Ending today’s blog with a quote from Meister Eckhart “If the only prayer you say in your entire life is – Thank You – that is enough.”

Thank you to all our friends and family.  May we all take our love and gratitude and spread it all around the world to be bring peace, joy and happiness.

Namaste,
