The role of Appreciation in Personal Development

By Elkin Arriero


In brief while gratefulness is a reply to something, appreciation is the cause of something, if you concentrate on gratefulness you will be replying to circumstances, while if you target gratitude you will be creating your situation.

Gratefulness makes you a victim and that is absolutely opposite to be thankful, it rejects your own responsibility in creating the conditions that you have attracted into your life, while the gratitude does the opposite.

Each one of us, to a bigger or smaller extent, felt like have been treated unfairly by life, however, we are who decide if we need to continue resisting and still feel like victims or exercise our liberty to choose and remain in a state of Gratitude.

When you live guided by gratefulness , you are feeling satisfied with life when something good happens to you, as a promotion at work, but you feel a victim of circumstance when something unfortunate happens to you, but learning to focus on the state of gratitude you know perfectly well when you are the creator of everything that occurs in your life, the bad and good, and therefore your state of gratitude is everlasting, you are thankful for everything you have, as all of it has started in your thoughts, you end up letting go being the victim of circumstances to assume command of your own life.

If you live life with the dedication to pursue your personal development and you dominate the art of appreciation, you see the future with expectation and excitement and don't feel nervousness, doubt or fear of what you can receive. (Ley de Atraccion)

Become used to close your eyes for 2 to 3 minutes a day, undistracted, and enter this state of appreciation for everything around you, this includes possessions, people, events and things in your life, at the end of exercise, you will see how a feeling of happiness takes over your body, because the simple fact of showing thanks reminds you consciously and unconsciously, all the positive things in your life and all the good things you have helped in creating.

Solely to be alive and have another day to see the trees, sky, mountains, enjoy your fave meal, watch TV or listen to music, going for a stroll or dinner with buddies and family is a superb gift you must connect instantly with the state of gratitude.

You will achieve a genuine self development when you're able to feel gratitude for everything, even the smallest things.
