The Importance of Gratitude – How to bring more happiness into your life
The Importance of Gratitude
Sometimes it is easy to forget that we have so much to be grateful for. We live in a world of abundance. If you live somewhere with the internet you have it good! The internet gives us the power to access and receive so much. It is always so important to strive for greatness and seek out more, but being grateful for what you currently have is so important.
Without gratitude for what you currently have, you may limit yourself to a happy lifestyle.
When times are rough it can be hard to be grateful for what you have. By practicing gratitude every day, it can bring positivity into your current situation and bring more abundance and happiness to you and the ones around you.
Taking the time to smell the roses...
It is so important to notice the little things in life that we take for granted.
I woke up today healthy
I have access to the internet: Knowledge
Friends and family
I have people around me that love me and that I love back
I have a roof over my head and a car that runs.
I am able to make money through different methods, including the wonderful world of Steemit :)
“Be thankful for everything that happens in your life; it’s all an experience.”
― Roy T. Bennett
We all have many things to be thankful for.
How to practice gratitude..
Think about what you are thankful for.
Write down what you are grateful for.
Share what you are grateful for, talk to others about what it is you are grateful for.
Share on Steemit what these things may be.
I try my best to practice gratitude on a daily basis. I know that this brings more happiness into my life and the ones around me. Gratitude brings positivity, which then compounds the happiness into the world.
The next five days I will be out of town working long hours. I reminded myself to be grateful that I have the connections to be able to work and make money to help me do the things I love.
Please share what you are grateful for in the comments below.
I am so grateful for your upvotes and resteems ;)
STEEM ON !
This post is very timely and appreciated! For me, it often takes seeing the misfortune of others to spark the gratitude in me for what I have. I have to see a homeless person to appreciate my home. Hopefully I will be able to train this to not need that trigger to be grateful. Thanks!
I think it takes a lot of work. It's so easy to get distracted by our daily routine. It is a constant practice for me too.
Thanks for the great reminder @acromott. I am grateful to be surrounded by a circle of wonderful friends. When I go through difficult times I can depend on them for support and wisdom.
I am also most grateful for my friends.
Thanks for commenting :)
Gratitude is not only for the good blessings you have in life, but also being grateful for the crosses you encounter in your life. Although they are hard at the time, the self building of the character and soul is worth it. I have learned this through the loss of my sweetheart when she died last December. Going through multiple extremes of emotions, I learned that grief is gratitude. Tears are gratitude as well. That lesson I will never forget. Thankfulness comes in many forms. Thanks for sharing.
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:5
“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
― Epicurus
