One of the most powerful practices you can perform is
gratitude. If you are reading this, you have much to be grateful for. Too often,
we try to make gratitude about the big things, the momentous occurrences. But
the practice of gratitude really requires us to find it in the simplest,
smallest moments. Let's think about that. I have gratitude for:
- The
breath that I take
- My
body's ability to absorb oxygen and send it out to all the places it needs
to go
- Being
able to get up in the morning and move
- All
my relationships and all of the people that are around me and in my life
- The
world around me
- The
food that I eat
- The
scenery that I get to see
You won’t have to look very far or very hard to find
things to be grateful for. When you do this, all the other things that may bother
you will slip away, and you will be left with warmth in your heart for all the
blessings you experience in every moment. Gratitude is about the small things
as well as the big ones.
Life is full of moments of gratitude if we just take the
time to experience them. Gratitude is probably the single most important shift
you can make that will improve your life. Viktor Frankl said, "The only
freedom that man really has is his freedom to choose his attitude" - not
just at Thanksgiving or Christmas, but every day, every moment. Cultivate an
attitude of gratitude.
