Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can ~ Dalai Lama
The following is from the NY Daily News:
World Gratitude Day falls on September 21, 2013, and was started in 1977 by the United Nations Meditation Group. It’s a time to celebrate your existence, passions, local hero’s, relatives, friends and all the little things that bring joy into your everyday existence. What do you value? Who do you appreciate? How do you express your gratitude to others? Here are some ways you can incorporate gratitude into your life.
Donate Your Time
Putting the needs of other people ahead of your own can be very satisfying. You can donate your time to homeless shelters, food banks or the elderly. There are many people who have suffered traumatic experiences and your presence could help them find a new purpose in life. You can make the world a better place by bringing joy to others and helping people realize that they are not alone. There is not a more pleasing exercise of the mind than gratitude.
It is accompanied with such an inward satisfaction that the duty is sufficiently rewarded by the performance. ~ Joseph Addison
Gratitude Journal
Purchase a journal and begin writing down the things you are grateful for each day. Make a commitment to write and review your journal entries either first thing in the morning or at night before you go to bed. Your journal can come in handy if you are having a bad day by reminding you to view life’s obstacles as opportunities for growth. Consider writing down your struggles for the day and overcome them by listing positive angles for each one. Personalize your journal by including pictures of your loved ones or your pets, along with famous quotes that help motivate or inspire you.
We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude ~ Cynthia Ozick
Thoughtful Gesture
Show your appreciation by surprising someone with a thoughtful gift when they least expect it.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Shower your loved ones with love and thanks, take too many pictures and value the feeling of living life to your fullest potential! Indulge in amazing experiences and remember to incorporate gratitude into your existence.
HAPPY LOVING AND LIVING!
