Thank you Omar. I totally belive it. The more grateful you are to all the good things you have, the more you get. Gratitute makes your life beautiful and you will focus on what you have rather than what you dont have. Gratitude leads to Adandance.

Ah yes, yes yes - I totally agree!
You know your post reminded me of a particularly time when I was about 15. I woke up one morning and I just felt flooded with a sense of gratitude. I felt so blessed. It was like waking up for the first time ever and really seeing and being aware that everything IS a miracle. It was a moment of grace.

Have you heard of writing a gratitude journal? I learned this from Oprah when she had Sarah Ban Breathnach on her show. Every day before you go to bed, you write 5 THINGS that you are thankful for. It's a life changing practice.

Thank you for being you, Omar.

Thanks for your great comment Marj! I am very happy that you shared this experience from your teenage years -- sometimes people don't think just how changed we can be from a feeling or experience when we are young (only 15!)

The gratitude journal seems like a great idea! I have, at random moments, written lists of things I am grateful about, but I think this seems like a much more organized and constant practice. I will definitely try it out, I'm sure it is a great practice!

Thank you so much for your kind words, it keeps me going! :)

We should always forget what we have done for others but remember what they have done for us. If we view the world on our grateful eyes, the world is more beautiful, We are more happier . It is a smart kind of life style to lead to a life through gratitude.
Thank you very much, Omar.

Deng-san, thanks for your comment! :)
We are, indeed, happier if we stay grateful. I truly believe it.
