Gratitude is the Word to Learn

10.28.21

I no longer believe in random acts of kindness. These are acts from god or the universe whichever you believe in. At some point in time we have to realize there is nothing random about our lives ! Everything we desire is already ours. Everything you need to succeed is already within you. How do you embrace that though ? The answer is anything but simple for some; gratitude . See when your grateful for every aspect of your life it then feeds into every part of it. We can get so caught up trying to move on to the next step or making the next thing happen, we forget to say thank you for whatever or whoever got us to the present moment. We can’t expect ourselves to be happier with more when we can’t even be thankful for what we have now . When I started suffering from anxiety and depression, I felt undeserving of all the good things that were coming to me. As if I wasn’t worthy of anything that had abundance attached to it. Gratitude helped heal me. I began to tell the ones who I felt unworthy of “ thank you”. They’re responses always warmed my heart , they’d quickly respond with “ your welcome “ or an “ of course” one even said “ you know I love you “. When we express our gratitude not only does it allow you to focus in on all the good things that happen to you , but it also shows appreciation for the cause of that goodness. The best way to live your life is with a grateful heart. So the next blessing that comes your way be sure to say thank you and express your gratitude. Let that person or thing be seen and appreciated. Here are some of my favorite gratitude questions when I was unsure of who to thank :

- Who/ what made me smile today ?

- What were my small victories for today ?

- Did I learn anything today that expanded my knowledge ?

- Who check on me today ?

- Who/ what made me laugh today ?

- What today gave me hope ?

Those questions are a great platform to understanding gratitude. Apply them to your everyday life and watch how thankful you’ll become. I hope you have a good day on purpose and remember to always speak with love 💕- Alaina Marie
