The power of Gratitude

Power Of Gratitude

Gratitude is the feeling of appreciation and thankfulness for the things, people, and experiences that are positive in our lives. It is a powerful emotion that has the ability to improve our well-being and overall satisfaction with life.

Research has shown that gratitude can have a number of benefits, including:

Improved physical health: Gratitude has been linked to improved sleep, lower blood pressure, and increased immune function.

Improved mental health: Gratitude has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and to increase overall happiness and well-being.

Improved relationships: Expressing gratitude to others can strengthen bonds and improve communication in relationships.

Increased resilience: Gratitude can help us to cope with difficult situations and challenges, and to bounce back from setbacks.

There are many ways to cultivate gratitude in our lives. Some people keep a gratitude journal, where they write down things they are thankful for each day. Others express gratitude to loved ones or practice mindfulness, focusing on the present moment and the things they appreciate in their lives. Whatever the approach, the key is to make gratitude a regular part of our daily lives.

Take some time this few hours of 2022 and give thanks to God for all you have received from Him.

Routines help. There are days of strength and days of weakness. Days when you have fire in your bones, days when you feel deflated. Routines help with synchronization. There are days I wake up feeling as if my day was aimless. But when I remember my routine, I have something I can use to coordinate myself, otherwise I will feel I wasted my day. These routines are definitely defined and preplanned. You cannot be creating one on the day you need it. It just reminds you that there is work to be done, deliverables to be delivered. It keeps me in check. It takes 69 days to create a habit. Consistency is mighty. The results are beautiful if you do the discipline. I am always reminded by Robin Sharma in his book, the 5 am club, that "successful people (like me) have formed the habit of doing things that failures don't like to do. Top producers make it a habit to do the high-value activities that average ones don't feel like doing, even when they don't feel like doing them.”

Talking about the "what I am passionate about" conversation. That is a question I have no consistent answer to you. Does it mean I halt my life till that question is answered? No. It's always in my consciousness to know what I was born to do. Every fibre of my being desires to latch on to what it is. It is the longing of my heart all day and night. I will find it . Between then and now, I will be faithful and diligent in what I find to do with my hands. I have learnt that the way to develop interest in what you have no interest or flair for is to learn more about it. This takes discipline. Distancing your thoughts and intelligence away from that chore that you abhor will institutionalize the apathy. This trouble with this distancing mindset is that it wastes precious time, and you have no story to tell also of how you got victory in this situation because one thing is for sure, many are in the same arrangement in life. What story can you give to inspire someone going thro...

It is more blessed to give than to receive. It's more productive to give than to receive. The reward for giving is the opportunity to give more. Your capacity can never be expanded or stretched staying only in the receiver mode. Receivers tend to be followers and docile, while givers are in the proactive zone. When I think of giving, my landscape is beyond money. I think of ideas, solving problems, sharing solutions. The world is pushed forward by givers who are the ones willing to give their lives to create solutions. It is a sin not to be innovative, not to be a contributor or a value distributor. When I meet a person of influence, my outlook is to seek to add value to that person, to give upwards, not to receive 1st. Influencers know pests and cannot be intimate with such. Why do we acquire more knowledge, why do we research, why do we meditate, why do we welcome interesting challenges? Because they are bread for us. It is a thing of Joy to be the solution or to be the differenc...
