Importance of practicing gratefulness
Want to have a happy and blessed life? Practice gratefulness.
Gratefulness is all about aligning your thoughts towards looking at the positive side of everything; instead of pondering over their negative aspects. The most incredible thing about gratefulness is that it is not time-consuming or expensive. But the benefits it offers are enormous.
Gratefulness makes us happier, healthier and kinder. It helps us become less self-centered, less envious, more relaxed, more optimistic with increased self-esteem. Gratefulness makes us more pleasing, more trusting, more sociable, and more appreciative. As a result, it helps us make more friends and improve our existing relationships. Gratefulness has a direct significant impact on our physical and mental health.
Does it come easy?
Nothing good in life comes easy. Or to put it in another perspective, nothing worth having comes easy in life. However, as the saying goes, ” No pain, no gain”.
With the benefits stacking up as high as Mount Everest, you may be tempted to take a quick decision to practice gratefulness. Unfortunately, you have an uphill task in hand to overcome your well-entrenched behavior patterns, such as selfishness.
When things are going great, we tend to take credit, but when it takes a bad turn, we place the blame on anyone but ourselves. That is our selfishness at work. To practice gratefulness, you need to keep selfishness at bay. We have to learn how to give credit to others for our success while taking the blame for the failure of others.
It sure doesn’t come easy. But when the benefits far outweigh the inconveniences, it would be worth your while to start cultivating gratefulness as a way of life.
