We all have so many things to be thankful for however, when something negative happens we are so quick to say "If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all". Why are we always acknowledging the negative things that occur to us in our daily life and ignoring the good things. Why do we give the negative so much power?
When something good happens have you ever been thankful for it. I mean really thankful for it. Have you said “Thank you” to God and those who have given you so much without expecting anything in return? I bet some will answer no. Yet we are so quick to point out the negative in our lives. This has always baffled me about human behavior. By acknowledging the negative we are creating more negative. Why not acknowledge the positive and good things that occur in our life. Thoughts are powerful and what we believe we create. Let's create good things, like joy, happiness, and most of all lets be grateful for the cornucopia of blessings in our daily life.
Thanksgiving is a time to acknowledge all the positive and good things in our life that we take for granted throughout the rest of the year. We are all blessed with so many wonderful things to be grateful for. If you look at the way the world is today most of us are so much more fortunate than others. Some of those things are good health, family, our partner, good friends, a roof over our heads, food on our table, our job, clothes on our back and the blessing of another beautiful day of life, are just a few of the little things we take for granted on a daily basis. With all these blessings we still tend to hold on to the negative things that happen no matter how small they may be. So what if the driver in the other car cut you off, stop holding on to it, let it go! Why would you ruin your day over something so small and petty? Whatever negative experiences you may have, let them go. Always remember this too shall pass and concentrate your thoughts on something positive.
This Thanksgiving I would like you to try something different. Let’s make an extra effort to be thankful and show gratitude for all the good things in our life no matter how big or small they may be. Being grateful allows generosity to flow and many believe the more you love what you have and show gratitude the more you will get what you want. May you keep an intentional attitude of gratitude this holiday season that will last all year.
Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving filled with much gratitude, love, happy memories and many blessings.
