We have so many things to be grateful about, just being able to wake up in the morning is one of them, being happy and healthy, having food to eat, having a job and a lot more... The thing is are we grateful having all this blessings in our life or do we still have a lot to complain about? Did you know that if your grateful to what you have, the universe will see that and provide you with more? Think about it.

Saying thank you is not always enough when it comes to showing gratitude. i try to show my gratitude by giving back a little of what i receive. I appreciate anything that anyone does for me. I try to show my appreciation for that in any way i can.

I never used to do it until i saw this movie the secrets. Then i saw a video online ...the power of gratitude and then i changed the way i look at things. I started to thenk GOD for what i have rather than blaming for the lack. When ever i see something good or something that makes me happy. I place my hand on the chest and thank GOD for give me the opportunity to see such a thing.

HI, I should say grateful to my parents,they are a great parents who born me into this world,satisfy all my needs and let me have a good life. I also feel great having such a loving siblings at my side. Be it, we stay far away, our relationship is also close to each other and they are always the BEST for me. Now, I have my own family and I feel grateful to have a lovely husband and a cute little son at my side. My son is my Sunshine and his smile definitely brighten up my days. I also want to say many thanks to GOD,for giving me a good parents,sibling and a good family to me.

As a young boy I was always told to finish my food and drinks. That's gratitude. And with that I would be rewarded with more. It sucks me alot to see any wastage now. And yes I do believe with gratitude there would be rewards.

Hi dear, I think we should be thankful to many. From the vary birth to at this age, we are obliged to so many people around from mother and father, brother, sister, teacher friends, neighbour, officer and who else not? A person who is passing nearby also. As now in this form become with the help of many and we all are well aware of it. If we were born, at the time itself, doctors and nurses, from that day on wards so many are cared of us. So, this process is counted for each and every one who takes birth on our earth. Not only human beings, this principle is applicable to all. As being a small baby of 2 months, if no one cares for 1 day, what could have been our state? So, the nature has its own rhythm to take care of things by its natural way. It persuades other to look after. We should thankful to whom? Yes, all. All around us. In a sense, we should show gratitude to all around us with one way or other, as we all are indebted to the society with a variety of obligations at various levels. Regards, Thank-s

I agree with you that we should learn to gratitude in our life. Such as the love from our partners, help from family, encourage from friends and so on.Though we will face with many difficult in our life, and boring with them is useless.This is a real life in our society. Only learn to gratitude can we have a strong hearted to resolve them as far as possible.

Yes that is what they say. But, somehow I don't understand why I am always struggling to make ends meet. I am grateful for what I have, yet sometimes I don't even have enough money to fill my fridge. I am tired of struggling. I am grateful that I have a house and a job. I am grateful that I can walk again, seeing as the doctors told me I would never be able to work again. Yes I am grateful, but somehow I can't get rid of the stress. I just want to have my peace. I have read the secret, I made a song out of the secret, I have seen the movie, I have practised it. But, I am still in a hole. What am I doing wrong? Sure I know how to help everyone else, sure I am happy that I can walk,work and have a home. But, I would like to enjoy life. Without money that is almost impossible. Maybe I am to greedy? I have vacation for 2 weeks. Where am I? At home. Why? Because I have no money to do anything or go anywhere. I would really like to feel alive again. Though I love my home, I have a lot to do. But...

There are two ways to express your gratitude. Either say thank with sincerity, or return gratitude with gratitude.

this is very important in our daily encounters, a simple thank you may do, but it must come from your heart, it is normal for us to complain on something, but we show know if are on the right side and not just doing to avoid consequences. the most important is we be thankful for everything that is happening to us. peace!!!
