Thankfulness, Appreciation and Gratefulness

Especially at this Festive Season time of the year, it is usual to be grateful for what you have, what you are receiving and giving to others.

I wonder though how many of us only pay lip service to this giving and receiving from family, friends, the world? I also wonder if you actually take the time to really see what is being expressed behind the gifts? It’s not something we think about usually.

It may be that you only pay lip service to how you’re supposed to respond, ‘Oh thank you… that’s lovely… just what I needed…Oh, you shouldn’t have…’

Thankfulness

I don’t actually care what your normal response is! What I am saying is, can you allow your thankfulness to shine through? This would mean that you would be coming from your heart. You could be open to seeing the effort and time that has gone into the choosing of the gift (small or large).

Don’t worry, I also know that you know that some of those gifts that have been picked up somewhere or passed on to you, with no thought at all!!

Heartfelt

I’m suggesting that it would be heartfelt for YOU to look whoever in the eyes and give them a genuine appreciation of the gift. It will make your heart swell. And they will also receive from you in this way. And you can then do whatever you want with it! It’ll be up to you.

Celebrating, gratitude and appreciate

Why would you do this? Because this would be celebrating your big heart, showing gratitude and also your ability to appreciate any gift you receive. You see there is space between our breaths.

Whispers of your Soul

This is a space for magic, pause and creativity and so you will be genuinely listening to the whispers of your Soul in that space between.

Life

Life in all its complexity can give us great pain and great pleasure – hope and despair, comfort and disease. You can polarise into one or other or embrace it in all its fullness – with a peal of laughter, a cry of despair and everything in between.

Energy

Even although I have written a book called ‘I Don’t Care – the Art of Divine Indifference’, I want to say that, for me, the now belongs to those who do care about what’s important and those that believe that we, individually and collectively can make a difference to those who follow us.

Don’t waste your energy on what doesn’t matter to you and then really go for what does matter to you. Be grateful for when you make the choice to do this.

Die young or old

You die young or you get old and that’s it! Life is just too bloody interesting to get involved in the minutiae of ‘who said or did what to whom’. Use your energy for more important heartfelt issues.

Hence, being thankful for when you wake up in the morning and so can now choose how you want to be in life. And being grateful for being alive.

Life is a choice, it’s your life, so choose with Awareness, Wisdom and integrity – Choose to live your life with thankfulness, appreciation and gratefulness.
