What You Need To Know 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.

Gratitude is learning to be thankful. Many people think that they have little to be grateful for, however most of us have more things than we think.

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.

Have you stopped to be grateful for the food you have in your home. Tonight millions of children will go to bed hungry. These children are not just in third world countries, but may be just around the block from your own home. They could be down the street or even next door. Yet we find ourselves not wanting what we have but something else, so we head out to dinner without a second thought.

Take time to be grateful for your job. Remember that in the recent downturn in the economy many people have lost their jobs as well as their primary means of supporting families. Even so, many will have at least a year's eligibility to unemployment compensation. Without leaving their home, they have money coming into the home on a weekly basis.

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.
