| Living in Gratitude is one of the keys to being happy. |
Living in Gratitude is one of the keys to being happy. It is not about returning favor with favor, or gift with gift, but about feeling and expressing admiration and gratitude for the human and divine qualities of our Creator. When you express Gratitude you express Love.
Gratitude is a Virtue of the heart. It is to recognize that each day is a gift, that things can be worse and that is why you have to be grateful for what you are and "have" but not as attachment or possession but as enjoyment.
Gratitude is not "owing someone something", or "please return a favor." It goes beyond all this, it is to recognize the generosity of the other. It's heart to heart, not mind to mind. Gratitude is a state of Being, of the Spirit that lives eternally in a state of Grace, of the Soul. It is not a mechanical expression, neither studied nor learned, but it arises when you abandon yourself to the Will of God because He and only He is capable of giving, not in vain God said: "Before you were born I knew you" and Therefore he knows what to give you and what you need at all times.
God also says: "that time is in your hands" so each breath and each day is a miracle to be thankful for.
Living in gratitude is telling the Universe, God that you are satisfied with life, and if you are satisfied with life, you are happy. The opposite of Thankfulness is, Complaint and Complaint is "spitting on God in the face." The dissatisfied only see what he lacks, not what he has. The Energy you waste with complaining could use it to give thanks. Change the "chip", and if you are ungrateful there are a thousand reasons not to be.
