Depth of gratitude

Abundance and gratitude are inextricably linked. By living with gratitude, you open yourself to life’s immense abundance.

If you are a little bit thankful for this, and a little thankful for that, just every so often, you’ll have glimpses of abundance. When you enable and allow yourself to be continuously thankful for every big and little thing, your life will be immersed in abundance all the time.

It may seem strange to feel thankful for those events in your life that appear to be negative. Yet it is precisely by being thankful that you can identify the opportunities for transforming the setbacks and obstacles into successes.

You may not think it’s worth the time and effort to be thankful for all the little, seemingly insignificant things in your life. However, without the little things there would be no big things.

Seek to develop a depth of gratitude by seizing every opportunity to be thankful. Make genuine gratitude a constant companion to who you are, in all that you do.

As your gratitude grows deeper and more all-encompassing, life’s abundance shines more brilliantly for you. Be truly, constantly thankful, and there is no end to the level of abundance that you will experience.
