A Gift Overdue — The Power Of Gratitude
#ThePowerOfGratitude
Gratitude is the state of being ready to show appreciation and to return kindness received. It can also be referred to as the “Ability to be keenly aware of the good things that happen to you and to never take them for granted.” People have different ways to take gratitude.
Gratitude as an emotion is the feeling of happiness, while in a grateful mood, grateful emotions are more likely to be present. So can be say Gratitude is a personality trait.
Gratitude should be one of our core values. The benefits of being a grateful person are unbelievable. Being grateful makes us appreciate what’s already there and that reduces stress greatly. Gratitude improves the physical as well as psychological health and self esteem. It decreases the stress and materialism, increase the mental strength and make people better sleep. Gratitude creates the opportunity to more relationships.
So we should make a habit to say Thanks to our relations. A task regarding gratitude is given by AMAL Academy to practicing it in my daily routine. I made a Thanks card and purchase a gift for my beloved Brother. I wrote in that card how I’m grateful to have him in my life. I think I never say Thanks to him before this while he is the person who guides me or can say give me lollipop in every step of my life and I never say him Thanks ever. He was so surprised to see this present. He was not believed, I do it for him.
This one more gratitude letter and calligraphy, I made for my dearest friend Faakeha. I sent this gift to her just before writing this blog. In the card I wrote about her importance in my life and told her how grateful I am. She must be surprised because for the last two years, I did not send her a single gift. And know this unexpected gift surprised her.
The experience of doing this was so amazing. It makes me so happy and peace. I didn’t think to do things like that but AMAL made me realize that, “I have to do something for people who have a great importance in my life.” I’m really grateful for all the blessings in my life whether the people or things.
