There is always something to be grateful for even when life is hard and times are tough.
Everyday is a blessing,
and in each moment there are many things that we can be grateful for. The world
opens up to us when we live in a space of gratitude. In essence, gratitude has
a snowball effect. When we are appreciative and express that gratitude, the
universe glows a bit brighter and showers us with even more blessings.
There is always
something to be grateful for, even when life seems hard. When times are tough,
whether we are having a bad day or stuck in what may feel like an endless rut,
it can be difficult to take the time to feel grateful. Yet, that is when
gratitude can be most important. If we can look at our lives, during periods of
challenge, and find something to be grateful for, then we can transform our
realities in an instant. There are blessings to be found everywhere. When we
are focusing on what is negative, our abundance can be easy to miss. Instead,
choosing to find what already exists in our lives that we can appreciate can
change what we see in our world. We start to notice one blessing, and then
another.
When we constantly
choose to be grateful, we notice that every breath is a miracle and each smile
becomes a gift. We begin to understand that difficulties are also invaluable
lessons. The sun is always shining for us when we are grateful, even if it is
hidden behind clouds on a rainy day. A simple sandwich becomes a feast, and a
trinket is transformed into a treasure. Living in a state of gratitude allows
us to spread our abundance because that is the energy that we emanate from our
beings. Because the world reflects back to us what we embody, the additional
blessings that inevitably flow our way give us even more to be grateful for.
The universe wants to shower us with blessings. The more we appreciate life,
the more life appreciates and bestows us with more goodness.
