What do you think about your
life? Are you happy or disappointed not to be where you would like to be?
Remember one thing; wherever you are now, you have the ability and the power to
make it the way you want. Every single day, I hear people complaining about not
having or not being able to do what they want but let me tell you something,
you get nowhere by complaining. In fact complaining is an expression of
ungratefulness. You should learn to be more grateful for all the moment of your
life.
Every single person on earth
has a reason to complain as much as he or she has reasons to be grateful for their
life. Do not be unnecessarily negative; think about those who are less well off
than you. I once heard a very interesting story I want to share with you about
a grateful man. Once upon a time there was a man who spent his time trying to
add value to the world despite the fact he was not born into affluence; he was
always looking to help those who seek his help and ready to come to the rescue
of others in their time of need.
The man would never complain
about his own life, he dedicated his life into helping others and saw it as his
contribution to the world. One day, as he was going home very tired after a
long day helping in a care home, he found a man stranded close to his house. The stranger was standing in the rain next to
a car; he offered to help the man he met for the first time by taking him to
his house and giving him a hot drink, clothing and shelter. In the following
morning, the stranger was able to call a local garage to get his car fix.
A month later as the Good
Samaritan was coming back from his day late in the afternoon adding value to
the world, he saw the man waiting for him in front of his house. After learning
what the Samaritan does every day for others, he decided to change his life by
completely renovating his house and giving him a cheque of one million. By
accepting his life and focusing on helping those less fortunate than him, the
Samaritan showed gratefulness and was rewarded for his attitude.
You cannot show gratitude if
you are not happy with your life, you cannot be grateful if you spend your time
complaining about everything. You hold the key to your happiness and only you
can decide if you really want to be happy. I sometimes hear some people say
that they will be happy when they are wealthy or they will be happy when they
meet the right person. The truth is you have to be happy with what you have to
attract what you want in your life that is why Vivian Greene said “life is not
about waiting for the storm to pass….it’s about learning to dance in the rain!”
Using what you have to get what you want is the secret because when you choose
to focus on what is missing, you show yourself to be ungrateful for what you
have.
You attitude towards life
determines your level of success and, if you learn to appreciate your current
circumstances you are more likely to experience and attract your heart desires into
your life what you want. The more grateful you are, the more blessings you
attract to keep your state of mind the way it is. Focusing on what is missing
can only get you into a negative mind set but if you decide not to dwell on
what is missing and are grateful for all the good you have now, you will
experience more blessing and happiness.
Showing gratitude will not only change attitude, it will change your life.
