Gratitude!

I remembered I was watching the news on the TV sometimes last year about an amazing human.

It was about a man who had been born without limb! My god, that's the end of the world for 99.9% of us, but not to him. In fact he was not miserable at all. Why? He was grinning from ear to ear and a happier face you would find it hard to find anywhere and he played sports too! This man was not groaning - just showing gratitude and affection to all the people around him. I was truly gobsmacked! Compared to him, I seem embarrassingly minute in existence..

I know you may have some problems - we all do. You can see from this story that it might not be your particular problem that is your problem. It may only be your attitude to your problem that is the problem. By changing your attitude to the problems in your life it is possible to change the whole flow and future of your life for the better no matter what your circumstances may be.

To fully realize the empowering force of right attitude I only had to see the happiness in the smiling faces of those two human beings.

Be appreciative

I think this phrase 'thank you' has lost its appropriateness. People are not feeling appreciative or warm to the feel of it. It just that mundane thing to hear someone saying "thank you" to you sometimes.

Let me explain more.

Words are powerful stuff and when our words affirm what is good, what is right in our world, they solidify that goodness into reality. Do not underestimate the power of your spoken word. Worlds and universes are created from this magical process. Notice that in this realm, in our reality, we are the only known beings to transform thought into a spoken language.

So have more appreciation next time when someone does you a good deed. Reply with a big smiling thank you!
