Even the root of the word Gratitude is amazing. The root discusses celebration, joy, and happiness. Every time we love something, we are really feeling deep appreciation for whatever it is we love. We celebrate what we love with deep appreciation. We feel lucky to have it and so we feel amazing. When we capture that feeling of gratitude, even when we have no cause for it, it will create a reason to feel that way right before our eyes.
If we appreciate our failures, we will start to see the opportunity in that failure. When we appreciate a loved one, the relationship will improve, when we appreciate anything, our minds will open and reveal all the good aspects of whatever we are appreciating.
And don’t forget to appreciate yourself as you are practicing all this gratitude! Gratitude for yourself is the most powerful gratitude of all! When you appreciate yourself first it becomes natural to appreciate everything else. Please don’t forget to shower yourself with your own love and appreciation. You deserve it!
