“When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears”
Anthony Robbins
I tried this the other day. I was deep in fear about things working out the way I needed them to work out and suddenly I just started saying what I am grateful for. I started looking around the room and pointing out that I have a home and food, furniture, hot water, clothes to wear, and so on. I got very specific about the abundance of things that I have around me. We treat these things as if they are insignificant and trivial. I think we get so focused on what we don’t have that we don’t stop and appreciate what we do have. And I really believe that when you focus on lack you create more lack.
It all takes practice. Every day we are challenged to live in fear or to live in hope. In the moment that we choose fear and get tunnel vision we lose all hope. We get cynical and life becomes mundane. We don’t need to wait for a tragedy to wake up. Start looking around you right now and say what you are grateful for. Embrace your life as it is and be thankful for what you do have. Life will start to shift for you.
Today I am grateful for my healthy body, my eye sight, and all my limbs.
