5 reasons to focus on gratitude<\/h3>\n

Fear is:
\nFalse
\nEvidence
\nAppearing
\nReal<\/p>\n

1. Gratitude feels so much better than fear<\/h3>\n

Fear causes us to make choices that usually create outcomes we don\u2019t want. Bottom line gratitude feels good. Fear doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

2. Seeing through the eyes of love we only see gratitude<\/h3>\n

Gratitude allows us to love all of life. Every event in our life, especially the unpleasant ones always have a gift attached to them, if we are willing to see the gift. Gratitude helps us see and allows us to feel better.<\/p>\n

3. Gratitude allows us to see the bigger picture.<\/h3>\n

I find the questions:<\/p>\n

How can I see this through the eyes of the angels?
\nWhat would an angel do?<\/p>\n

Make a huge difference in my life and the answers are always filled with gratitude.<\/p>\n

4. Gratitude will set your free from the limitations of self.<\/h3>\n

A friend of mine used to tell me, \u201cWhen you are all wrapped up in yourself you make a very small package.\u201d Gratitude allows you to be big, loving and kind.<\/p>\n

5. Did I mention gratitude feels good.<\/h3>\n

It just feels good. Write a gratitude list everyday and notice how much better you feel.<\/p>\n

Spend this holyday season filled with gratitude an joy. Share that gift with as many people as possible and watch your life light up!<\/p>\n
