Your Daily Dose of Gratitude ~ Day 534

Gratitude For Your Life In General

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

Gratitude is an attitude. Psychologists have proved that Pollyanna was right: Counting your blessings creates a blessed heart. Those who are grateful weather life's minor storms more easily. (Author Unknown)

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

Cherishing Your Challenges & Challengers

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

One way in which you can continue your learning and growth as you seek a life of fulfillment, is to hold all things, situations and people in your life, in an abundance of gratitude. Now, this statement may come as a bit of a shock to some of you. "But Finola," you are perhaps thinking, "I was so deeply wronged by this person, this person caused me so much pain," etc. Precious readers, these situations often appear in your life as markers of growth, as potentials for evolvement, and as lessons to be learned and integrated into your lives and hearts. I am not saying that everything that happens to you is wonderful and happy. I am simply saying that all things, people, and situations that occur can be experiences or people from which you can learn much. If nothing else, these people and situations allow you to learn the skills of love and forgiveness.

Not only do we need to love and forgive those who we feel wronged or pained us... but we also need to remember to forgive ourselves! Forgive yourself for the careless words you said, for not returning that phone call, for not giving your daughter a hug last weekend, for refusing to do something you knew would have made someone happy, etc. If possible, reverse the deed. If not, except the past with love, and *learn* from the experience. This will increase your ability to make future choices out of love and joy and wisdom. Do you understand now what I mean by having an abundance of gratitude? Gratitude is a choice, beloveds, and not necessarily an easy one for you at times. But the results of viewing life in gratitude can be truly wonderful, indeed. (Finola through Kim Loftis) - www.kimloftis.com

Cherishing The Moments

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

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future. (Seneca)

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

Gratitude For Who You Are

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

We can gain satisfaction in our work only to the degree that we also have other satisfying things in our lives. Part of creating a successful work life is to also consider some of the other categories of things that are important in our lives, such as time alone, intimate time with loved ones, time for physical activities, play time, and entertainment. Making a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule that includes all of these elements can help to ensure that you create time for all the things you want in life. It's a sign of self-worth to give yourself the time you need for all that is important to you. (Shakti Gawain) - www.shaktigawain.com

What We Say, Be, & See – We Become

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

You are searching for the magic key that will unlock the door to the source of power; and yet you have the key in your own hands, and you may use it the moment you learn to control your thoughts. (Napoleon Hill)

Neutralizing Negativity & Preferring Positivity

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

The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives. (Albert Schweitzer)

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

Kindness Is The Greatest Way To Display Your Gratitude

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

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated. ( )

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

My thoughts continually embrace the good

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

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.

My thoughts continually embrace ????

(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> My thoughts continually embrace <Breathe out>
