You can choose to walk passed,
You can choose to ignore,
But you are always having a choice,
Choose your compassion and kindness wisely,
Gratitude is
simple yet so mighty.
Have you ever looked for
things to be grateful for? Have you always looked for the bad things that happened to you
or perhaps you have rather than looking at all the
good things that were happening in your life every single day.
Many of us
want to be happier, live better, and experience inner peace. Personal development and
transformation involve
self-discovery your life from within your heart. Thinking that life just isn’t
happening to us the way it corresponds to and naturally we start making
judgments and blaming others. “Why do these things keep emerging from my life?
If you think the causes of
your unhappiness are the people and events surrounding you, you will conclude
searching for the explanations. How the external world affects your daily
living isn’t the issue, but what you believe and feel about yourself in the
relationship to what is going on around you.
The power
of gratitude is a feeling of
gratitude makes you conscious of what you hold dear and are committed to in
your heart. Appreciating the blessings in your life helps you cope with stress
and unease by re-structuring life’s problems, putting them within a perception
of your destiny. What is more, when you live your life with gratitude, you
experience more joyfulness, self-worth and feel more connected to others.
Gratitude doesn’t mean being contented
with everything around you. Authenticity requires you recognizing
and coming to a place of peace with yourself. Acknowledging the ridged parts of
your nature and the shadows of your character and accepting flaws, and letting
go of impractical expectations will free you to experience more gratification.
The path of
personal growth always involves change. Your journey to life is a dynamic
process which includes releasing the tight grip on the past, letting go
and moving on from everything that is no longer serving you.
The Power of self-gratitude is
when accepting yourself as whom you are, and then you can make a change. Before
you can change the events surrounding you,
you have to act wisely to embark on changing yourself first. The example will
be the life and the teachings of the Buddha.
A simple way you can do is writing a
list of gratitude that you are grateful and ungrateful for everyday and stick
it into two
separate boxes or jars daily for a week. This able to cultivate a profound sense of gratitude and well-being
through the act of list making and to observe and scrutinize what
are the grateful and ungrateful lists that you have collected and contemplate
and reflect upon it.
This contemplation and reflection are very functional
methods that alight your thoughts and positive energy with love and compassion
to overcoming your negative emotions and fears of insecurity in your life.
This helped you to realize that when
you are grateful, fear to disappear and abundance appears.
When you focus
on the things that you are grateful for, it opens you to the source of all
those things that came into your life. Gratitude allows you to come into
full harmony with the Universe.
The better ways to predict life are to create
it and if you are not thankful for what you have, why
should you get anything more? Remember these
sayings are being authentic included sense of worth and sense of responsibility
that helps to nurturing the life that you have chosen. Your authenticity
evolves from your obligation, determination and diligence in creating the best
individual you are capable of becoming from the impossible to the “I m
possible”

Aspiration
For Bodhichitta
For
those in whom the precious Bodhichitta has not arisen
May it
arise and not decrease
But
increase further and further.
Nagarjuna's
Dedication of Merit
By this
merit may we obtain omniscience then.
Having
defeated the enemies wrong-doings.
May we
liberate migrators from the ocean of existence.
With
its stormy waves of birth, old age, sickness and death.
