We are given this choice every day –
Will I complain about what’s not going my way? Or will I become conscious of, and find gratitude for, the many things that really are going my way?
Whatever holds my attention, I will be shown more of.
“Gratitude places you in the energy field of plentitude. Perceiving life in a consciousness of gratitude is literally stepping into another dimension of living. Suddenly the seeming ordinariness of your days, take on a divine sparkle.” – Michael Beckwith
“You cannot bring anything new into your life until you are grateful for what you have now.” – Michael Beckwith
“Authentic gratitude is a way of life. When you wake up in the morning let your first thought be one of thanksgiving that you have another day to walk in the love of God. As you go through your day, see the Giver behind all of the gifts freely being given to you.” – Michael Beckwith
“Complaining, is a prayer to the devil.” – Michael Beckwith
It’s worth taking a pause on the many things that really ARE going your way, even when it feels like nothing does. If you get into your car to drive home, and you actually arrive home in one piece – that’s a big deal!
It may feel small. You might be totally taking that small thing for granted, but if you notice every small win and hold it in gratitude you will literally be living in a new reality.
“The enlightened give thanks, for what most people take for granted.” – Michael Beckwith
You can train your brain to recognize possibilities over problems. If you don’t… you’ll be like 90% of the scared humans out there – seeing only problems and no possibilities.
“The universe corresponds to the nature of your song.” – Michael Beckwith
So what will your song be? One of complaining or of gratitude?
Today’s meditation is a reminder that every day I am given a choice – I can live in the dimension of unhappiness, complaining about what’s not going my way. Or I can live in the dimension of gratitude for all of the blessings that I really do have.
Here are a few guiding mantras for self-reflection:
- Start your day with gratitude. As soon as you wake up, take a few moments to appreciate the blessings in your life.
- Notice the small things. Pay attention to the little moments of joy and fulfillment throughout your day.
- Express gratitude. Share your appreciation with others, both verbally and through actions.
- Let go of complaining. Redirect your focus to the positive steps that you can take.
- Choose gratitude. Make a conscious decision to focus on the positive aspects of your life.
By embracing gratitude, we can transform our lives and create a more harmonious and fulfilling reality. Let’s choose to sing a song of gratitude, and let the music of life fill our hearts with joy.
