The Power of Gratitude

Gratitude. This is a virtue which Marie Callas speaks so often but so many people have forgotten. There are actually immense powers if you express gratitude.

Gratitude is one thing which requires no money or effort and you can do that for free but it does have the effect your making you rich in your life.

Sometimes we feel life is so unfair. Someone has all the good stuff in the world yet you have to slog it out to earn pittances. You develop an attitude of angst. Don't! Instead develop an attitude of gratitude.

Practise showing your gratitude as much as you can. You don't have to go around smiling at every hour every minutes to do that. You can tell yourself in your mind how much you appreciate this life or better still, you can meditate on that.

Whenever something goes against you, do not be hateful. Express gratitude that it has taught you something instead. Be sincere and genuine too, for you will truly feel thankful for the abundance in your life.
