There is no feeling state more powerful for creating abundance in our lives than that of gratitude. Regardless of the circumstances we may find ourselves in as the holidays approach, our choice of how we see what’s around us will determine the amount of “fullness” we experience each day.

Gratitude is so powerful because, through it, we see the possible good in every circumstance. We harness a unique power to glean the diamonds from what most see as ordinary “garbage.”  We see liberation and freedom in what most may see as victimizing and painful.

In a state of gratitude, we find that every seemingly ordinary moment is truly extraordinary. Even the smallest sunbeam becomes sweet to our eyes as we appreciate and become present to all of life’s beauty regardless of how insignificant it may seem to others.

As we approach this Season of Thanksgiving, let’s all be reminded to see the possible good and the potential opportunity in ALL that we’re experiencing – and to embrace ALL that is in our life with a simple question… “How can I be grateful in this situation?” This simple shift truly can turn wherever we rest our head into a home, can turn the simplest crumbs into a feast and can shift any relationship from indifference into love.

We at A Higher Thought are truly grateful for you! Happy Thanksgiving.
