What Kind Of Gratitude Do You Have?

 

From looking at my own life, and in the lives of the people I help, I realized there are three degrees of gratitude:

 

  1. Selective Gratitude

 

This is when you’re thankful for Big Ticket items only.

You win the Lotto.

You get a new car.

You finally pass the board exam after 9 tries.

Your daughter finally gets married at 52.

Your visa is approved after 16 denials.

Your adulterous and drunk husband finally changes. Or dies. (Whichever comes first.)

Everyone starts with Selective Gratitude.

But sadly, this feeling of gratitude is rare. Because Big Ticket items are rare too.

And usually, it disappears rather quickly.

Selective Gratitude is great.

But if you want to be really happy, you need to graduate to a deeper form of gratitude…

 

  1. Simple Gratitude

 

In Simple Gratitude, you’re thankful even for the small things in life. For the roof over your head, for the leftover food on your table, for the semi-neurotic family around you.   Stuff you take for granted.

Remember this famous quote? I once was sad for I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.

One day, my friend complained about his decreasing hair. I told him to think positive: his hair wasn’t decreasing, it was his forehead that was increasing. He didn’t believe me and became more depressed.

So I texted him this slightly-edited version of the line above: I once was sad for I had no hair until I met a man who had no head.

I think that sobered him up. If you were to choose between baldness and beheading, what would you choose?

Today, he shines his head and calls himself Bruce Willis.

But do you know that there’s something even more powerful than Simple Gratitude?

 

  1. Sacred Gratitude

 

In Sacred Gratitude, you’re thankful for life itself.

You’re thankful that you’re alive.

You’re thankful that you exist.

You’re thankful that you breathe!

You’re thankful for the adventure of daily life, with all its ups and downs, highs and lows, and twists and turns.

This kind of gratitude doesn’t depend on situations anymore.

And there’s a big difference between knowing you need to be grateful, and actually having every cell of your body singing, “Thank You!”

This is Sacred Gratitude.

It’s one of the sweetest things in the world.

Nothing can touch you. You’re at peace.

When you have Simple Gratitude—and especially Sacred Gratitude—you receive so many blessings.

Why?

Because when you become grateful, you also become a Blessing Magnet. (More on this in my next email.)

 

May your dreams come true,

How to Set Priorities Using the ABCDE Method - Brian Tracy

The more thought you invest into setting priorities before you begin a task, the faster you will get the important things done. The more important and valuable the task is to you, the more motivated you are to overcome procrastination and launch yourself into the job.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
