A note to myself, on how Gratitude has been the best Attitude.
I am so
grateful for this moment, for today, for my life. Every day is magical, and
every day a wonderful lesson. The biggest lesson I have learned is the gain and
the comfort of gratitude. Practicing gratefulness has given me such beautiful results,
and has opened my heart to cope so much better.
My latest practice has been to be grateful for my challenges.
When faced
with a challenge, I pray and say I am grateful, as I know I do not face this
alone, and the assistance of God, Angels and my guides are with me. I pray to
be alert to the answers as they are given to me so I can take the appropriate action.
I humbly testify , I am so grateful to see that my faith never fails me.
During
challenging times, I thank for this challenge as I know it is part of my karma,
to face it and dissolve it. I surrender to it, and by being grateful, it is
such a wonderful way to see it as growth, and not punishment.
I am
grateful that through this practice, I have been able to love myself, my inner
child, and continue to see the goodness in all relationships. I am so grateful
that I am aware of this gift, which has been a part of me since I was a young
girl. I am so grateful that I did try to rebel, and I am so grateful to have
experienced to go against myself is something that does not work.
I am
grateful that now I can feel anger, but not stay angry. I can see deceit, but
not be deceitful. I can see unfairness, but not been dragged down to do same. I am so grateful for the Love in my heart. I
am so grateful that I have been given the courage to accept it who I am, soft,
loving, accepting, and through all this to see when I am being manipulated, or
played, but not get involved in the game. I am grateful I have not allowed negative
comments to change me into a sour and bitter woman.
Most of all,
I have experienced that being grateful for the difficult times is a great
healer. For example when I am faced with
a manipulative situation, I say to myself, thank you Lord, for showing me this
situation, thank you for helping me not to allow myself to be dragged into this
drama, and thank you for showing me how to deal with and learn from it. Thank
you for teaching me detachment and surrendering to what is in the most loving
way. This is how I deal with all my challenges that appear to me. If I feel
challenged and the emotion is there, but it is not clear, once again, I will be
grateful, and ask that I am guided to deal with what I need to learn. I am
grateful that all the answers always appear.
I am so
grateful that right now, and for the past week, I have had to deal with
earache, and blocked ears. I know that
at this moment I am hearing things that I really do not want to. I know that a
lot of this is not loving and harmonious. I know what it is about. I know that
through all this noise there is lots of Love, and this Love once again will
bring healing not only to my physical ears but also to the relationships that
seek it so much.
I am and
remain grateful.
