Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving

On this day that we are sup­pos­edly giv­ing thanks for all of our bless­ings (and not mak­ing it about fam­ily squab­bles, the size of the meal, shop­ping, or who won the foot­ball game), I’m, of course, tak­ing this oppor­tu­nity to blog about gratitude.

On most days, I have an “atti­tude of grat­i­tude,” I find it within myself to be thank­ful for at least one thing in my life that is good. Oftentimes, when I am writ­ing in my vision jour­nal, I try to find as many things as I can, not lim­it­ing myself by find­ing “at least five,” or “at least ten.”

Sometimes I come up with a whole page of things I am thank­ful for.

I think for some peo­ple, it isn’t so easy. They will always find their glass half empty, or wish­ing for more than what they have. They see grat­i­tude as a fine line of accept­ing what they have as “defeat” or that they may not ever have more money, that big­ger house, the newest tech­no­log­i­cal device or the lat­est car.

They fail to see that we all must be truly grate­ful for every­thing in our lives in order to attract more.

On the days I find many things to be thank­ful for, it cre­ates a pos­i­tive energy that allows me to accom­plish more in my per­sonal and my work life.

That’s how grat­i­tude plays into the Law of Attraction.

I hope all of our Living Large com­mu­nity, whether you reside in the U.S. or some­place else, will find time to count your bless­ings today.

It will make you feel bet­ter and just might help attract more of what you want into your life.

Happy Thanksgiving!
