Welcome to part four of our five part series on Gratitude Attitude. Sharing with you what can be a reality, if we choose. Sharing this with you is exactly the intention of this series. For now of course it is just a vision and a vision without action is just some thoughts that are soon forgotten.
It is the intention to inspire your thoughts, to create that action within your life. Then enable you and of course give to you the power to pass it on, pay it forward and teach another for the future generations, the power of the Gratitude Attitude
The point of this series is not just to educate you the reader, many of you already know and feel a deep sense of gratitude. The influence we all can have on the rest of our circle of influence, that is the key motivation and desire. If perhaps we can be a beacon, like that mighty light house on the rocky shore that prevents the ships from crashing, if we can be that important to a coworker, a trusted friend, or a relative, or maybe just maybe down the road tell our story. What a powerful message and story we can deliver.
Today I want to get into more on this point of the discussion, lets call it:
Putting it into play, effective exposure to a damaged world.
Damaged you say, how can you say that? Well look a the recent news stories, if you dare. The unusual weather, record unemployment, day after day of bad news on the door step. It is indeed hard to take one more step, as the words from the Don Mclean song plays out in American Pie. Maybe just maybe we have taken too much of the pie as of late.
Many of our neighbors and relationships are plain tired, worn out by all the news and pending news. It never ends for them so it seems.
But if we can put the word Gratitude Attitude into play. If we can educate and inspire others to reach look within to what is truly good in their world. Then maybe just maybe we can change more attitudes and more families than you can even imagine.
How do we put it into play?
Lets start with our own life and gratitude within ourselves.
Put out the attitude that you can make a difference with anthers life.
Care for your neighbor, take time to smile, listen and look for that chance to share your thoughts on gratitude in your life and how it plays well for you.
It is truly said that you can't know anthers burden unless you walk a mile in their shoes, very true and well put, however you can share your relationship with gratitude, with your power of prayer, faith in God but more importantly faith in your family, and the human race.
People want to have certainty in life, the first of the Six human needs on the Maslow hierarchy that I have written about in the past. But they also want to feel like what they do matters, that the deck is not stacked against them.
That truly is what the feeling and sense of the Gratitude Attitude can give another when it is truly focused upon.
A simple smile.
Deep breaths.
Meditative moments with self and most importantly grateful prayers to God.
Take the time to start with you. The way your talk, walk, listen and feel empathy. Do you take time to feel empathy?
Take the time to pray each morning, and take time to reflect on what is working in your life and focus on these things.
Teach and empower those you love and care about to take time out for them.
Walk and listen to nature, smell the fragrance of morning dew and the nature it lays upon.
It is all in your power and all you need to do is truly put it into play.
Its not that hard, the most important step - - is the first one.
Pray for wisdom and pray for peace for those who you come across and most of all pray for the time to make a difference.
I close with this video - - enjoy !
Written today for you to think upon, to pray upon and to act upon.
Written to share because we care..... Putting it into play today and everyday, pay it forward.
Gratitude is always, always better shared. : )
Have a great day everyone!
