Whatever we focus on expands in our life experience. If our mind is focuses on what’s not going well in our lives in the present, or we are living in the future focused on our fears, or living in the past ruminating about things we are still angry about, we will create and expand a reality that feels painful and negative.

However, if we focus on what we are feeling grateful for, we will experience a reality filled with love, joy, and peace, no matter what is going on.

Gratitude creates a life of deep well-being and health. New research suggests that people who focus on gratitude experience less stress, better sleep, more energy and greater levels of joy and happiness.

From Me To You: Cultivating Gratitude

For a few moments, close your eyes and consider the things you have in your life right now, this moment, that you are grateful for: a roof over your head, food to eat, your loving relationships, a body and mind that functions and allows you to create and achieve and explore the world.

Life is truly a miracle, and we are part of an endless flow of creation creating itself. This moment now is our only point of power.

Since whatever we focus on expands, lets focus this moment now on feeling gratitude, and the world will bring you more people, moments and experiences to be grateful for.
