The Ancient Secret to a Fulfilling Life: Gratitude and Taking Responsibility.

Many thousands of years ago, in the time of the ancients. Mankind had barely started making huts to sleep in.

They had only just started creating places to worship the Gods. They had been taught about the Gods of fire, water, earth and wind. They had seen the wisdom in this.

Where else would these forces of nature come from other than some kind of God or spirit.

Through sitting peacefully and quietly by themselves in a cave. They heard these voices in their head. Like someone was talking to them.

And these voices told them about the Gods. Told them they should build monuments to worship them.

And the main reason for this was to give them purpose and to teach them gratitude. Gratitude was an important vibration and skill to learn.

For they discovered that when they were grateful for the weather or good hunting then they would get more of what they were grateful for.

When they gave thanks for the animal they just killed that would feed them, then this pleased the Gods. And so the next hunting trip would be easier. It would be less dangerous.

However, when their gratitude started to wain, and they just expected things to be easy all the time. This is when things became more dangerous and one of them may get injured or even killed.

They understood that this was a painful lesson for them all to learn. And they returned to being grateful and thankful to the Gods for what they provided them.

And things would improve again. But over time, the majority of people simply couldn't be bothered to be grateful. When bad things happened then they just became a victim.

They would complain and moan about the Gods not looking after them. They would not take any responsibility for the bad things that happened to them.

They did not take responsibility for bad planning. Unsharp weapons and blunt knives. Or perhaps they would ignore the weather warning and then complain bitterly when they got drenched or washed away in a flash flood.

It was easier to just complain. It was easier to blame one of the Gods for their plight. Because the alternative was taking responsibility for everything they created in the lives.

And no one wanted to admit that they created pain and suffering in their own life. Their ego couldn't handle that. But what they found was when they complained to their friends, their friends complained too.

They would have a great moaning session and then they would feel better. Or so they thought. In reality, they felt connected to their friend.

They felt they shared a problem and they loved the empathy and attention they got from playing out the victim. But there were a group of individuals who saw the world from a higher perspective.

They saw the bigger picture by stepping back. By slowing down and allowing reality to be presented to them. And it was in these moments that they saw what was happening.

They realised that if they took responsibility for their life and everything they created. Good and bad. Then they would understand that they were in control.

They didn't have to sit there and wait for one of the Gods to save them. They didn't sit their and blame all their problems on one of the Gods.

They didn't have low vibrational conversations with their friends and family about how all these bad things happened to them. How nothing was their fault. How unfair life was.

No, this group did none of this and so they enjoyed a more fulfilling and loving life. They didn't take things personally. They didn't fall out with each other over silly little things that in reality meant nothing.

They loved each other unconditionally. They held each other to a higher standard. They embraced the world and everything she had to offer them. And they loved it.

They loved their life, and they were grateful for everything they had.

Be grateful for the beauty of nature and three young geese.
