grat·i·tude (n): the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful
People with a strong sense of gratitude, love and appreciation don't necessarily have more than others. They aren't "luckier". They simply recognize and see more beauty in their lives.
Gratitude attracts what we want. It's the universal law of
attraction at work. When you're consciously aware of your blessings, and are grateful for
them, you're focusing more clearly on what you do want in your life -
and are attracting more of those things into your life.Gratitude reduces negativity. It's hard to be negative about your situation when you're thinking about things you're grateful for. One of the fastest ways to improve your mood is to count your blessings.
Gratitude improves problem solving skills. Too often we look at problem solving with a "something is wrong" mindset. Then, we have to put in effort to fix it. Conversely, when we think about what we're grateful for we open our minds to new possibilities. We also enter a problem solving situation with a perspective of improvement and opportunity rather than challenge.
Gratitude improves relationships. A little "thank you" goes a long way. Make people feel special and appreciated. Be grateful for people, their contributions, their talents and their actions.
Gratitude helps us learn. Behind every problem lies an opportunity. Being grateful for our situation - even if we don't like everything about it - allows us to be thankful for the opportunity to learn something new.
