Gratitude

All of us face struggles in life. If you are reading this then you have no doubt got through all of those struggles as you are still living and breathing. Proof that you are strong and resilient.

Take solace in this knowledge, that you have made it this far. Be proud that you have made it this far. Not everyone does. Acknowledge your success so far in this life on earth.

However much you may think you are struggling today, you're still going. You havn't given up. This in itself is a victory. There is one thing I can guarantee you.

Regardless of how you feel in this moment, be that great or bad. There is always someone on this earth that is suffering significantly more than you.

Perhaps they are praying desperately for it all to end. Or perhaps, that regardless of their circumstances, they continue to fight every day in the hope that things will turn around for them one day.

They have eternal hope and optimism. They will keep fighting until that last breathe to forced away from them. They don't know any different.

When there is struggle and suffering all around them, they never contemplate giving up. It never crosses their mind because it is the only perception that they have of life.

They don't know how other people live. Be they super rich or poor like them. They just know they have been given the gift of life and it is up to them to do the best they can with it.

But, take another person who has grown up in a more privileged surroundings and life. They have a different perception of life. When they lose any part of that expected lifestyle.

They become the biggest victims. They complain the most. They feel powerless about their circumstances and will often give up.

And yet, the life they have at their worst, is significantly better than someone else in another part of the world. We often forget what we have.

We spend all our time looking up the ladder at what others have that we feel poor and deprived. But if we took a moment to consider how others are forced to live in this world.

Be they sex slaves, drug mules or just desperately poor that they can't afford food every day. If we took a moment to consider what we have compared to these people. Then we should instantly feel gratitude.

And this is today's message. Gratitude. Be grateful for whatever it is you have because another person somewhere in the world, would give one of their kidneys to have what you do.

Practice gratitude every morning. Write down what you are grateful for. This will help you get more abundance in many different ways.

It will completely change your mindset to grateful rather than moaning and complaining about what you don't have.

And as you know by now, your focus creates your reality. So whatever it is that you are focusing on that you don't have, you will continue to not have.

You see, your subconscious is getting mixed messages. It hears you complaining and it hears what you are complaining about. So it makes sure that you never get that.

The universe wants you to thrive. The level at which you thrive is different for every person. It has a different meaning for everyone.

But be sure to focus on what you would love in your life. Be grateful for all the things you have. Knowing full well that there are many others in the world who do not.

Stop for a moment outside. Listen to the birds singing their hearts out. They are grateful for another day on earth to do their thing. Their songs are not complaining.

They are beautiful and uplifting. Being grateful for being able to hear their joy and happiness is so important for your own wellbeing.

It will raise your vibration. It will bring you peace and joy and love. This is thriving. Being open to love everything you have in your life.
