How does Gratitude Empower You?

Gratitude is an important aspect of positivity, abundance, and empowerment.
Why is gratitude so important? Because feeling thankful leads to feeling fulfilled. Fulfillment through gratitude empowers you. Feeling empowered opens you up to mindfulness, which in turn opens you up to conscious reality creation. When you can consciously create your reality, you can achieve dreams, goals, and aspirations. And when you feel fulfilled, that feeling of completeness allows you to manifest your desires.
Thank you are two of the most powerful words in the English language. They not only make the person to whom they are given feel appreciated, but they also open you up to more to be appreciative of. It’s important that we feel grateful and express gratitude frequently because gratitude reflects the abundant nature of the Universe.
Our fear-based society is largely built on lack and scarcity. There is not enough of this, that, or the other thing, and when it runs out entirely were are meant to be afraid that everyone will suffer. Yet most of what we fear is lacking and becoming scarce is not, or even if it is there’s an alternative or a replacement.
Whatever the case, the vast majority of the lack and scarcity presented to us is totally artificial or superficial.
We live in an abundant Universe. There is more than enough of this, that, and the other thing to go around, OR we can find or create something to replace it. For example, studies show that it is currently possible to generate more power from wind and solar than fossil fuels. Ergo, we’re not lacking in resources for power.
This is one example of the many ways our fears get used to disempower.
Being grateful more than saying Thank You
Expressing gratitude, not just saying it but feeling it, creates an overall sense of satisfaction. This puts you in a place of abundance, rather than a place of lack and scarcity. As such, when you are working on creating something new, or improving the life you already have, this has you doing so from abundance rather than lack.
Everything is energy. High-vibrational energy is more powerful and positive than low-vibrational energy. Lack, scarcity, and the fear associated with these is low-vibrational. Gratitude, abundance, and the satisfaction associated with these are high-vibrational. Positive. Thus, gratitude is tied directly into positivity.
Expressing gratitude on a regular basis tells the Universe that you appreciate what you already have. Showing this appreciation feels good, and feeling good opens you up to draw more things that will feel good. Like attracts like – this is the Law of Attraction in action.
Even if you feel that the whole Law of Attraction thing is bunk, doesn’t it feel better to be grateful and express that satisfaction than to be ungrateful and express that dissatisfaction? Does anyone really desire to feel unfulfilled and unhappy in their life?
Finally, gratitude is a two-way street. Not only does it open you to more abundance, satisfaction, and fulfillment, but it also opens up anyone you give it to to the same. A genuine thank you presented to another person is appreciation that appreciates.
Think that’s cliché? How do you feel when someone gives you their appreciation? Makes you desire to be appreciated more, doesn’t it?
Throughout your day, look for places where you can express gratitude. Say thank you frequently. Try it out. See how gratitude can draw in more good, make you feel more satisfied, and expose you to more positivity.
Thank you for reading this.
Sharing gratitude is not hard, but it does require action
Knowing that saying thank you expresses appreciation for the things you have, and impacts both yourself and anyone you give it to, this can be a tremendous tool for positivity. When you show your gratitude for the people and things in your life, it opens you up to feeling more satisfaction with your life, which ultimately empowers you. When you feel empowered, you become more aware and mindful, and tend to spread that feeling to others around you. As such, you can build more positive feelings and discover more things to feel grateful for.
You can use the positive feelings this generates to dissolve negative feelings. When you eradicate negative feelings, you open up space to let in more positive feelings, and that is something you can be grateful for.
Gratitude leads to happiness. Happiness is the ultimate positive attitude. An attitude of gratitude is an attitude of positivity that begets even more good energies – and that, like you, is always worthwhile.
