#46: Gratitude

#46: Gratitude

What do Gandhi, Mother Teresa, MLK Jr., the Dalai Lama, Leonardo Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Lincoln, Newton, & Einstein all have in common.......They all practiced GRATITUDE!

The major religions of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism all have gratitude at their core.

  • Muhammad said that gratitude for the abundance you've received is the best insurance that the abundance will continue.
  • Buddha said that you have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy.
  • Lao Tzu said that if you rejoice in the way things are, the whole world will belong to you.
  • Krishna said that whatever he is offered he accepts with joy.
  • King David spoke of giving thanks to the whole world, for everything between the heavens and the Earth.
  • And Jesus said thank you before he performed each miracle.

Many scientific studies have found that people who consciously focus on gratitude experience greater emotional well-being and physical health including:

  • Feeling better about their lives as a whole
  • Experiencing greater levels of joy and happiness
  • Feeling optimistic about the future
  • Exercised more regularly
  • Had more energy, enthusiasm, determination, and focus
  • Made greater progress toward achieving important personal goals
  • Slept better and awoke feeling refreshed
  • Experienced fewer symptoms of stress

I encourage everyone to start a daily gratitude practice writing down 3 things you're grateful for every day. Nothing has helped me cultivate a positive attitude, peace, and ability to vibrate high and shine bright than starting my own gratitude practice a few years ago....And something I do every single day.
