Grateful | by Madisyn Taylor Every day is a blessing, and in each moment there are many things that we can be grateful for. The world opens up to us when we live in a space of gratitude. In essence, gratitude has a snowball effect. When we are appreciative and express that gratitude, the universe glows a bit brighter and showers us with even more blessings. There is always something to be grateful for, even when life seems hard. When times are tough, whether we are having a bad day or stuck in what may feel like an endless rut, it can be difficult to take the time to feel grateful. Yet, that is when gratitude can be most important. If we can look at our lives, during periods of challenge, and find something to be grateful for, then we can transform our realities in an instant. There are blessings to be found everywhere. When we are focusing on what is negative, our abundance can be easy to miss. Instead, choosing to find what already exists in our lives that we can appreciate can change what we see in our world. We start to notice one blessing, and then another. When we constantly choose to be grateful, we notice that every breath is a miracle and each smile becomes a gift. We begin to understand that difficulties are also invaluable lessons. The sun is always shining for us when we are grateful, even if it is hidden behind clouds on a rainy day. A simple sandwich becomes a feast, and a trinket is transformed into a treasure. Living in a state of gratitude allows us to spread our abundance because that is the energy that we emanate from our beings. Because the world reflects back to us what we embody, the additional blessings that inevitably flow our way give us even more to be grateful for. The universe wants to shower us with blessings. The more we appreciate life, the more life appreciates and bestows us with more goodness. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Dan Millman Most of us go about our daily activities without much attention towards the subtle and simple pleasures of life. The experiences that captivate our senses and stand out to us are usually more dramatic as we as a society have collectively come to expect flashiness and grandeur. We want to be wowed, but are less easily impressed with each passing day. What would it feel like to awaken each morning grateful simply for the gift of a new day -- the ability to move your body, see a palette of colors and shapes, enjoy aromas, taste an array of food, feel the pleasure of touch, play with the material world, and bathe in the currents of passing time? This course teaches a brief yet powerful meditation practice to instill a profound appreciation for the life you were given on planet Earth -- something most of us take for granted. By the end of the course, not only will you have memorized this meditation, you'll also have gained a deep understanding of its benefits.
