"The Struggle ends when gratitude begins"
I was sitting in my room and relaxing when I noticed this quote pinned on to my wall and decided that the next post would be about gratitude. It has been on my wall for a long time and would always reminds me to be grateful for all the blessings in life rather than complain about the things that went wrong. Being grateful has a really great effect than most of us would think of it .

A few years back, I would read a quote about gratitude or some verse from a religious book and would think " Oh well, I will be grateful when I have it" and would forget about it as the time rolls. But later I realized that what I have shrugged off was something that could bring a lot of joy to us.
Being grateful is something that needs practice. If you could think about your life you would be able to think of at least a hundred things that makes your life better than someone else on this planet. And then there would be ten or fifteen things that doesn't work out for you. What we usually do is that we would focus on the ten or fifteen complaints most of the time and forget the good things we have.
And that my friend, is the biggest mistake we could make. You see, when we pray and when we feel grateful, there's this magic that would happen in our lives, we would start getting the same luck or blessings again and again.
Have you ever had a friend or a relative who gets it all in life and who seems to be very lucky?
they seem to understand the secret of living great life and we would always wonder how they got it all together.
Try talking to them, they would be talking about blessings rather than complaints. They would always be happy and you would see them upset or worried once in a blue moon. These are the winners!! They definitely know how to live.
On the other side there would be someone ( it could be you, your friend or anyone) who always complains and seems to be getting all the bad lucks in their life day after day. They would be miserable and always upset about something or the other in life.
So the real answer is this. This applies to everyone of us regardless of our race or religion. You can find the the power of being grateful in all the religion..its all the same message.
Be grateful! Just be grateful for everything you have and be grateful for everything you will get. Yes you heard it right, be grateful for the unknown blessings that's coming your way. You have to think it in this way, You are the creator of this life.. and God is up there granting your wishes, You have to look up at God and say thank you along with something that you want in life.
Yes, you have to visualize something that you want in life and just pray in such a way that its already happened. You have to do it until it happens.The more you visualize it and feel it in your heart, the more real it would be.

Maybe you want new dress or some money..what you could do is to think about you getting instead of complaining that you can't get it. Just visualize and feel it in your mind that you are already having it in your hand and be grateful for having it. You would eventually find a way to get it and you will receive it.
If you have enough to live, be grateful, if you have people who supports and loves you, be grateful, if you have a special person in your life, be grateful, if you get a help, be grateful, if you have enough food and is safe, be grateful and you will receive more of it.
For all those people who actually do this could relate to this, I am pretty sure. You think of something that you want to receive everyday and feel it as it have happened and be grateful that it happened. And one day its there in your life and you will realize that you have created it in your life through your prayers and gratitude.
Pray as if it has already happened, act like it has already happened, and smile at the fact that its on your way and then its there. You focus on it, you thought about it, felt grateful at heart and made it true. Stop focusing on the negative situations because it will give you more and more negative situations.
What you focus on will happen in life. Just focus on the good and no matter what don't complain..at least don't complain it to a point that you speak only to complain. Distract yourself when you feel like complaining and miserable and start to feel grateful. You could already feel the relief.
Now there are things that you should keep in mind when practicing gratitude and Its as below:
#1.What you focus on when you visualize and feel it, is what you will get in life. If you focus on good, it will happen, if you focus on the bad, it will happen.
#2. Don't pray and be grateful just to achieve something. Pray and be grateful at heart, feel it and be joyful about it. Feeling good is a sign that its working out.
#3.Never expect everything to work out very easily.
#4.Be grateful even for the simple pleasure in life, and this itself would make you a happy soul.
#5.Prayer and gratitude could change your life around if you could do it in the proper way. When you pray and visualize eliminate desperation, guilt, regret and all other things with happiness, gratitude, smile and peace.
#6. If you do all this and is still miserable, its only because you haven't really eliminated the negative thoughts about this whole process. Just believe that it will happen and wait for your blessings while you keep on being grateful.
So keep all those negative thoughts aside and practice gratitude and you'll see how it would magically turn your life around. Just believe, ask, pray, feel grateful and receive it!!
Much love to everyone!!
