Your Daily Dose of Gratitude ~ Day 561

Gratitude For Your Life In General

-------------------------------------------------

Relax into your natural Well-being. All is well. Really it is! The essence of all that you appreciate is constantly flowing into your reality. As you find more things to appreciate, your state of appreciation opens more avenues to more to feel appreciation for. As you think you vibrate. As you vibrate you attract. (Abraham through Esther Hicks, from, "Abraham-Hicks' Teachings In Brief") - www.abraham-hicks.com

Cherishing Your Challenges & Challengers

---------------------------------------------------------------

Peace comes not from the absence of conflict, but from the ability to cope with it. (Author Unknown)

------------------------------------

Cherishing The Moments

------------------------------------

…there is always more to every phenomenon you witness, it is good to periodically step outside your little box of being and look through fresh eyes at what is arising to greet you in each and every moment. Young children do this all the time. It can be quite inspiring to observe how they greet life, particularly prior to the solidification of their "boxes of being." Often, when encountering something for the very first time, they completely immerse themselves in the experience in a way that most adults have either forgotten altogether or have simply quit doing because they have lost or perhaps misplaced, their natural curiosity and abundant joy for the magnificence of the world…

I would like to suggest that each of you schedule some precious moments in your busy, full lives to discover the unpretentious innocence through which you previously viewed your world. Chances are pretty good that you liked the world more in those days. Where did your exuberance for life, with all its marvelous wonders, go? Where have you hidden the bright spark of awareness that looked forward to every new morning and ended each day completely exhausted because of all the exciting moments contained in the scope of a mere twenty-four hours?

Some of you, as adults, have had the opportunity to be in the presence of highly evolved humans or individuals of great spiritual accomplishment. You may have noticed that spending time with them can be somewhat like being in the presence of an innocent child. Both are filled with exuberance for life; both are (or can be) radically present in the moment, unaware of either past or future; both have expanded capacities for joy and wonder; both seem to delight in the mystery of who it is that peers at the outer world through unjaded eyes. Indeed, we could go on, but this comparative list should be enough to make the point. Both are committed to living life fully and savoring every precious moment.

Some of you might wonder a bit as to the meaning of that last sentence, since you might believe that the evolved or enlightened being is on his or her way out of this world. Whereas that might be true, as long as they are here, the great bodhisattvas love and enjoy not only life but all the beings with whom they share life as well. Neither little children nor awakened masters see life as an exercise in drudgery. They do not arise in the morning dreading the day, nor do they feel burdened by the fact that the Sun came up.

Both the innocence of children and the wisdom of sages offer compelling evidence that liberation is found through commitment. While most people worry about how to live a meaningful life, one who knows his or her life's purpose and is committed to fulfilling it discovers that virtually every interaction in life is meaningful. The force of one's commitment quite naturally provides the meaning that may be missing for those who know neither purpose nor commitment. Thus, if one wishes to imbue her or his life with meaning, a good example can be taken from wise masters and innocent children. When commitment is lacking, a sense of meaning cannot be present in any lasting way. Oh, yes, there will likely be moments of meaning, and some of those moments may be quite profound. But lasting meaning comes from commitment to one's life purpose. (Master Djwhal Khul through Kathlyn Kingdon) - www.vajraflame.org

Gratitude For Who You Are

----------------------------------------

Let us look at this idea of honoring who you are, and that is honoring not only your non-physical but honoring your bodies, honoring this miracle called life, and honoring the ways that you may express love. So one of the ways that you can honor who you are is to look at the beliefs you hold about yourself and your body. We listen to your thoughts and it is extraordinary to us how you all judge your bodies. How your bodies are never enough because they do not conform to what somebody else's idea of beauty is. In other words, you have all forgotten the miracle that you are. You have all forgotten how exquisite you are in your myriad and unique expressions of physicality. (Ptaah through Jani King) - www.ptaah.com

Kindness Is The Greatest Way To Display Your Gratitude

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of being. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

----------------------------------------------

Daily Gratitude Affirmation/Intent

-----------------------------------------------

Repeat this affirmation as often as possible throughout the "nows" of your day. Write it on a piece of paper and carry around to re-mind yourself

Every day in every way I am learning to love life more and more.

----------------------------------------

The Daily Phrase Of Praise

----------------------------------------

(1) Apply this "phrase of praise" to all the nouns you encounter throughout your day. Write it on a piece of paper & keep it where you'll repeatedly see it & it'll re-mind you to remember to "spend your days in praise." You will feel yourself filling up with the energy of gratitude as you consistently use this phrase throughout your day. Fill your nows with "wows" by routinely using this phrase of praise.

I am learning to love ???? more and more

(2) Use this "phrase of praise" as a mantra in the "nows" throughout your day. Concentrate on your breath as you visualize filling up with the essence of this phrase and then breathe out and imagine releasing all that is NOT who you truly are – returning it to Source with gratitude, for all the lessons attained and the many strengths gained from the polarity initiation process of its passing presence as a chapter in your life. Now breathe in your next chapter, breathe in this "phrase of praise," turn the page and let it in.

<Breathe in> I am learning to love <Breathe out>
