Much to be Grateful For

DADA J P VASWANI





Why should I be grateful? Being grateful makes us positive, happy and optimistic; it helps us see the bright side of life. It teaches us the art of appreciation. Some believe that we lack in the spirit of gratitude because we take things for granted.The street urchin into whose hands you drop a packet of biscuits looks up at you with gratitude and smiles happily .He has known what it is to be hungry , to go without food oftentimes. He knows the value of the biscuits that may not be dainty enough for our palates.May be we need to go without the things we take for granted, to be able to appreciate what we have. When you become aware of all that you have to be grateful for, when you actually begin to count your blessings, you will be overwhelmed with gratitude for all that has been bestowed on you unstintingly .
Many think that if they had a little more of this or that, a little more than what they now have, they would indeed be very happy , satisfied and thankful -they are quite mistaken. If we are not satisfied with what we have, we are not likely to be satisfied even if it were increased many times.
What you feel strongly about happens to you. It is the thought power that makes things happen. If you feel grateful for what you have, you will attract many more things to be grateful for. Gratitude is the very basis of the abundant law of attraction.
