Look at the person that always has in bad mood and always complain for what they have not but never thankful to God what He awarded him. It seems hard to be around and it looks difficult to maintain a relationship with them. Now, consider a person that is energetic, and has a certain spark to them. They are fun loving and have attitude to do anything. They want to try new things. They’ll always be thankful to list of things. When you meet them you’ll become more energetic. You’ll also feel the difference between these two persons.
Nobody has a perfect life in this world but we still live for perfection. When you reach the first mountain of success you’ll see that you’ve to climb. Bu we shouldn’t be discouraged by this. Always look behind the mountains that you’ve climbed. Be happy! What you’ve. Be thankful to your previous experiences because without them you cannot be there.
Thus, always have a positive attitude with thankfulness.
Now, you’ll think how can I start? You should start it from today. Sit down and list the things that make you happy once. Nothing is too small and big for this. You can add many things in this list like a cup of coffee to roof over your head. You must also add things that you don’t have for now but you want them in your life. You may wonder but it is important in manifesting our dreams.
We’ve many serious problems in our life such as you lost your job, many of you might have been informed that you have some serious illness, perhaps even a life threatening one. Then, we think; can our Lord see our pain? If yes; why He doesn’t help us? Don’t get disappointed because God see everything down and He has designed a good future for you.
Just you’ve to put effort to achieve your future with positive attitude.
The other day we as a family where sitting down to the dinner table and I placed a plate of food down in front of one of my young sons. The first thing out of his mouth was, “where is my fork”. I wanted to snatch his plate up from him and send him to his room with no dinner at all. I knew he needed a fork and I was on my way to the silverware drawer to get it for him. It was the fact that he did not even say thank you for the dinner; he was too worried about what he did not have yet to say thanks for what he had already been given.
I don’t think our Lord is any different from us in this way. He has given us food, shelter; most of us have WAY more than we need to survive. Listen to your next prayer… Dear Lord, please, “___________________” you are probably asking for something. You are driving down the road asking him to help you with your next big project at work, or asking for help with your marriage, something… Take a moment and give thanks for the car, for the job, for the marriage. If you where to spend less time asking and more time thanking your life will begin to look more pleasant, you will be given what you need by your loving, creator.
In my story from family dinner, I knew just what my son needed; I knew he needed the fork I did not need him to ask for it and for that matter I was already on my way to get it for him.
I give you a challenge. I challenge you to not ask for anything in your verbal or nonverbal communications with your creator for one month. Spend more time thinking of things to be thankful for, and I promise you will find joy in places you did not think possible; I promise
Let your kids involved in making thank you cards for gifts as early as possible. Even participation is too little more than putting some stickers on a thank you cards, they benefit from practicing the process. Looking for small ways to show thanks every day sets a great example for small children. You should also help your kids show and practice their thankfulness beyond the holiday season will also build their character and help them develop a more positive attitude.
It’s look amazing how one simple, easy, positive action can change so much in a person’s life. One of the things that have had the biggest effect on my life is the realization of the power of gratitude by simply giving thanks.
