Give Thanks
Today’s Daily Stoic Meditation outlines that gratitude is immense.
Always give thanks.
“In all things we should try to make ourselves be as grateful as possible. For gratitude is a good thing for ourselves, in a manner in which justice, commonly held to belong to others, is not. Gratitude pays itself back in large measure. — SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 81.19”
Gratitude
Gratitude is immensely important and pivotal.
Cultivate a sense of constant gratitude for all things!
What Is Gratitude?
Gratitude is the quality of being thankful and appreciative for all that is around you.
It is the quality of wanting to show thanks, to prioritise seeing good things and sharing your appreciation for them.
Importance
Gratitude is important in all situations.
However, when you feel your vibrations slipping, and you feel yourself beginning to think negatively, or fall into a rut, practicing gratitude becomes absolutely imperative.
When you practice gratitude, a great deal of things happen. Gratitude aids you in:
- Seeing the abundance of good things around you
- Raising your spirits
- Coming out of a rut
- Finding inspiration and joy
When you take time to recognise how truly blessed and gifted you are, the problem you were dealing with becomes much less serious.
It’s almost like a shift; you recognise, when looking at the abundance of greatness around you, that the problem is simply not worth your time and energy.
You become, therefore, more inclined to direct your energy to where it truly matters; towards the abundance of good.
“If you don’t get everything you want, think of the things you don’t get that you don’t want.” — Oscar Wilde
