Items To Understand About Gratitude Abundance

By Millie Laker


How grateful are you today? Gratitude abundance teaches you to be grateful for the little things in order to get the bigger things in life you need.

A grateful attitude can help you to overcome the negative thinking that may rule your life. You do not have to look far to find many things you should be grateful for.

One of life's greatest blessings is health. Persons who are no longer healthy will remind you that they should have been more grateful when they had their health. Persons having health are able to start again even when everything else is lost. They may regain lost items and rebuild items of importance.

Most persons should be grateful for shelter. Today there are persons that would be truly grateful for even the smallest of rooms in most homes to shelter their families form rain, cold or heat as well as disease carrying insects that may cause death to family members who are bitten in the night sleeping.

Persons reading this article have electricity, computers and power. For millions around the world these luxuries simply do not exist.

Are you grateful for the food that lines your cabinets tonight. Millions of children as well as their parents will go to be hungry tonight. These families are not just in third world countries but can be in your own state, city or even on your own street. If most of us do not want to eat what is in our homes we can jump in the car and pick up fast food without a second thought.

Have you expressed gratitude for the job you have? In the recent economic recession, thousands of persons have lost their jobs and their primary means of supporting their families. Even so, most of these are eligible for at least a year to eighteen months of unemployment compensation. Without a job or working, they are bringing in 75 to 80 percent of the income that they had when working full time.

When was the last time you stopped to be grateful for your family of origin. When you were a baby and a child unable to care for yourself, they offered nurture and love. Tonight, thousands of children will go to bed in the home of a foster family and could by moved by the courts tomorrow. Thousands more continue to live in abusive homes and will go to bed in fear tonight, hoping that their fears do not become a reality.

Even with all we have to be grateful for, people continue to focus on the negative events of life. Their focus is on what they do not have rather on what they do have. If you start to focus on the positive and show gratitude, you can stop forcing away the things you need in life to be happy as a person.

Gratitude abundance is learning to be thankful for little things in life. This can change the way of life so that the power of those positive thoughts can help you to have those things you need. Start choosing gratitude for your attitude today.
