I
really enjoyed reading this short but sweet article written by Marc Chernoff titled 12 little known laws of gratitude that will change your life. This article really hit the mark on what is needed to
achieve greatness.
Gratitude
really is the key to everything you desire. In his very first
paragraph, Marc said, “Gratitude leads to greatness. It can
literally turn what you have into more than enough, jobs into joy,
chaos into order, uncertainty into clarity, and bring peace to an
otherwise chaotic day”. He goes on to talk about how whenever you
show appreciation you get more of what you desire. This is overlooked
by so many people. Gratitude is essential for personal growth and spiritual growth.
I
know you probably heard about gratitude many times before. I have
written about it many times, but this is something that really must
be highlighted in your mind because gratitude really is the key to
what you desire. So many people take for granted these little known
laws. Maybe because it is too simple or we are forgetful. We must
understand that if we want success in our lives we must show
gratitude for what we already have. Gratitude is what gives you that
spark to set off what you desire. Without Gratitude all you have is
an unlit candle in the dark.
It
is nearly impossible to be sad when you are counting your blessings
and because of the joy you have you will have many more blessings to
count. Marc in his article goes on to say “It makes no sense to
condemn or regret an important life lesson”. Remember that what you
focus on you get more of so don't sit too long wishing you would have
done things differently. Focus on what you are grateful for now, make
changes for the future and do better. Marc said, “Gratitude makes
sense of yesterday, brings peace to the present and creates a
positive vision for tomorrow”. Be grateful that you have room to
grow and move forward to a better tomorrow.
Gratitude
also puts things into perspective. Marc said “Good days give you
happiness and bad days bays give you wisdom. Both are essential”.
Gratitude helps us to see clearly and live our lives to the fullest.
I love when Marc said in his article “What matters most is not what
you say but how you live. Don't say it, show it. Don't promise it,
prove it.” You don't have to say a word. Your life will show how
much you are grateful for not just in riches and wealth but
how content you are and how much joy you have for living life. It
will also show in how you give to others.
Marc
in his article said, “The highest form of prayer is giving thanks”.
This is sooo true because giving thanks when you pray opens doors to
what you truly desire. He ended his short article with an awesome
quote by his grandmother. “Life should be lived with a little more
gratitude and a little less attitude.” If you are still wondering
why you are not where you want to be consider counting your blessings
and take notes from Marc's great article titled 12 little known laws of gratitude that will change your life. If you challenge yourself to
count your blessings every day, relax and let go, what you desire
will come to you. I have seen it in my life and I know that you will
see it in yours.
God
Bless
