The power of gratitude

For those who are interested in starting to appreciate an unbelievable power G-D has given you here is a simple ritual

See everything (positive ,good ,healthy ,well intentioned etc)that everyone does for you no matter how mundane,no matter how insignificant,no matter how small ,obvious etc as
A HUGE FAVOR AND A BLESSING
Not as your right or what they should be doing,what society , what normal people demand etc
but as a A HUGE FAVOR AND A BLESSING

Thank them with wholehearted, demonstrative, warm gratitude

Give it a shot and dont let up ,good things take time ,great things take even more time as they are worth the effort and the effort builds

You will find yourself saying thank you 100's of times a day
You will start seeing people( without losing the awareness you need) in a totally different light
Your relationships will improve and no matter what your situation you will feel better than you were before , the potential for good feeling is endless

You will start focusing on whats right with your life instead of taking residence always in whats wrong with it

A small list of "insignificant" things to be grateful for

When someone answers your questions
When someone gives you the time
When someone hands you something
When someone lets you go forward in a line a head of them
When you are served your supper
When someone says hello
When someone gives you the change you asked for
When someone takes the time to give the directions
Whomever washes the dishes in your home
Whomever hangs your laundry
Whomever cooks your dinner
Whomever treats you with respect
Whomever ask your opinion about something
whomever pushes the button for your floor in the elevator
When a waiter hands you your drink and / or meal
When someone spends some time talking to you etc
When anyone takes the dishes of the dinner table
Whenever anyone is considerate of you in any way
When someone does something for you that you could have just as easily done yourself

The list goes on forever

Lose yourself in wholehearted gratitude and find yourself some joy,blessing, warmth ,quality and love

Make the journey from expectation to appreciation and you will find in your life unprecedented elevation
