Have you ever said to someone (or had someone say to you): Thanks for everything? Maybe someone did something to help you through a difficult time or task. “Thanks for everything” is a way to express the gratitude we feel for these moments of appreciation.
Most of us don’t think about giving thanks until Thanksgiving, but making it a daily practice will change our lives in a very profound way.
Maybe, the key to successful living is giving thanks for everything every day because giving thanks touches the hearts of everyone around us — including ourselves. It creates a good feeling between people and further encourages goodwill. It promotes a significant influence on the world around us.
Beyond the rules of good manners, giving thanks for everything sets in motion the wonderful power of Spirit in our lives. Whenever good comes our way, it always comes with a feeling of gratitude. Even when we don’t express it, it is there inside of us.
So gratitude creates more goodness in our lives. It is like a constant cycle of goodness and gratitude; gratitude and goodness. One feeds the other. This is why we give thanks for the things we desire first. This way the manifestation is more likely to follow.
Do you give thanks for everything daily? If you do, you will be happily surprised at the change that happenings within and around you. Life will seem much happier and sweeter. And maybe, you will not let troubles get you down as much. Appreciating the goodness of life can and will change your entire world.
Deepak Chopra says it beautifully in his quote from Living Beyond Miracles:
“When we live our lives with an appreciation of everyday miracles, we connect with the field of infinite possibilities. There are cosmic twirlings of Intelligence that endlessly create our Universe. And if we pay attention, we can let synchronistic moments guide us, inspire us, and provide us what we need in order to do great works.”
Make thanksgiving a daily way of life!
