Living in Gratitude

How often do you take the time to just say Thank You? For even the smallest thing, like waking up, or having a sound mind, being able to breath on your own, or to be able to hear and or to see. Those very things that we all think we are entitled to. The very things we often take for granted.

Living in gratitude daily is how we get to grace. When we live in gratitude we are given more to be grateful for. Gratitude is not just a state of mind. It is a way of life. The very life we all desire and pray for. The very life we live daily and forget to be grateful for. When we decide to exist in gratitude, everything around us changes. The sky is bluer, we can hear the singing of the birds in the am, the sun even shines brighter. We find ourselves in a state of bliss, a state of peace and calm. A place where we are centered and self-aware.

One thing that we have to know and understand is that, gratitude takes place in the here and now, the present moment. Now, that is not to say don't be grateful for the past and the lessons and blessings learned. What I am saying is that we have to be grateful for what we have right here and right now. How can we receive in abundance if we live and think in lack? Constantly giving focus and energy to everything we don't have, or think we should have. If we can't even appreciate what we have in this very moment, then how can we truly appreciate anything?

Gratitude is consistent whether times are good or bad simply because there is always something to be grateful for. Living from that space, that energy is what will manifest so much more to be grateful for. That doesn't mean that trials and tribulations will not occur. It just means that our perception of things has shifted enough to see the grace of it all and be humbled.

Love and Light!
