Gratitude Thanks for this writing

“But how do I feel grateful when I want so many things to be different than they are?” Well, the answer is by wanting to focus on gratitude, by choosing to be grateful. Everything is always a choice when it comes to our focus.

Being grateful, however, is not about pretending to be grateful. It’s not about just saying the words. It is not a mental exercise. You must feel it. And you can feel it even when circumstances may seem grim. To quote Eric Butterworth’s Spiritual Economics, “This is precisely the time to stir up the gift of gratitude! Remember, it is not a reactionary emotion but a causative one.” In other words, by being grateful, you cause or draw to you more experiences to feel grateful about!

Gratitude and appreciation are powerful, high frequency emotions. You don’t have to look outside to your environment for things to be grateful for in order to feel and experience gratitude. You can choose to be grateful, to feel grateful, to experience gratitude. In other words, gratitude is not a response to something external, but a state of Being that you bring to the world. When you do this, amazing things happen."
