The Attitude of Gratitude

This is for the brothers. But can be used by all. Learning to be thankful is the beginning of developing good mental health. Positive attitude is healing in itself. Oftentimes we get into comparing one's self to others, which creates a sense of competition. If you are not satisfied with your version of yourself, contemptible emotions can ove take you. Sending you into a place of envy and depression. These emotions can be very harmful to yourself and those around you. In the Bible this created the first murder recorded in the book of Genesis. The story of Cain and Abel. We must not let these negative thoughts and feelings control our minds. It is a breeding place for destruction. If you focus on what you don't possess often you won't build on what you do! We all have been blessed on so many levels. The question is are you aware of your blessings? What do these blessings mean to you? Are you maximizing your gifts? How do you invest in your vision? Do you know your purpose? Do you know who has blessed you? Have you truly expressed your gratitude to those who have been a big part of your success? Do you even see yourself as successful? If you are thankful for what you do most times you will have a sweet spirit of gratitude. This attitude brings about blessings. It is like a magnet attracting greater blessings. It also puts you in a mind of taking care of your blessings as well as the people who invest in your wellbeing. It's just good business. You will find yourself creating win, win scenarios. You will build a winning team. Folks are more apt to help you because you make them feel appreciated. 48 Vision & Purpose Community Magazine
