Why can’t you be more grateful? Having gratitude helps us to enjoy life more. It can break through huge barriers and reduce our stress loads. There is so much each of us has to be grateful for. When we change the way we think, and start to fill our lives with thankfulness, nothing else is the same. Gratitude is a way to showing respect to other people. It makes our lives to travel smoothly. Gratitude is more than saying thank you, it is also about not complaining about current situation. Gratitude is the fullness of Life. When we complain about the things going wrong all the time in our lives, it creates negative vibration. So, how do we turn things around? We start by complaining less and accept the things as they are in this moment, knowing that good times are on their way.

Start by being grateful and stop complaining. We should complain less about what we don’t have and be grateful about what we have. Gratitude makes sense of the past, brings peace in the present, and creates vision for tomorrow.

Those who are ungrateful, who forget the help of their benefactors, those who are selfish, and see only their own knowledge and abilities in the present without showing deference or consideration for their benefactors are a dead-weight on the world and can find no real progress in life – like a dead tree standing with no fruits or leaves to give shade. You cannot exercise much power without gratitude because it is gratitude that keeps you connected with power. Gratitude is the beginning of civility, of deficiency and goodness. Gratitude is a sign of maturity. It is an indication of sincere humility. It is a hallmark of civility. Most of all, it is a divine principle… Where there is appreciation, there is also courtesy and concern for the right and property of others. Without these, there is arrogance and evil. Where there is gratitude, there is humility instead of pride, generosity rather than selfishness.”So be grateful for what you have. Live life to its fullest.
