The Power of Gratitude

Did you hear? Did you hear about the war? The war that has been established millions years ago and will be going on for centuries? The war that you were born into and influenced by your peers, elders and associates to choose a side. The great internal war. The Infamous War between you and You. Between Success and Failure, between gratitude and complaining.

Now, I understand and know well too much that things may not be going the way you want it or circumstances has so much of your attention because we feel if we do not pay attention to it, we are uncaring, but this is a false premise. Attention to anything gives it power and makes it grow in our experience, like the great Dr. Wayne Dyer said, “You can not remedy something by condemning it.”

I am also not suggesting to ignore the situation but I say look at the issue as something serving you in some way or another, by searching for the silver lining, we can always see how a particular circumstance, as dyer as it seems, is serving us in someway. Making us wiser, more tenacious, more humble or showing us who were really are.

When you can look at something without complaint but with eyes of gratitude for the lesson or an experience to become better, we would find more joy in life and in joy we raise our vibration to create the life that we truly want. The facts are that things could be better but they can also be worst so rejoice on what is going well, and be nice to what is going bad, because with people or with circumstances, you can always kill them with kindness.
