The Philosophy Of Life: Gratitude

Hi friend,

I've been reading a lot of self-motivational articles on the internet over the past years and I notice that there is a general theme that has been repeated time and time again. This is my conclusion so far. Note that my conclusion here will likely change from time to time. So lets just say that this is the current observation I had from all the reading materials I've come across.

The thing that we sought after most in this world is all the positive emotions in life. Some major examples would include happiness, contentment and tranquility. 

And the best way to achieve that is through gratitude

Most of the reading materials I've found outlined the granular approach on gratitude. The approach stems from teaching how one could instill gratification in life and how gratification could lead onto an overall feeling of positive emotions. That is it! That is the secret to a better life. Feeling grateful.

Two ways for us to increase the feeling of gratitude in our life is:
  • To learn to want the things that we already have.
  • To accept the things in your life. Good or bad. Make peace with acceptance.
I look at this as a very good rule to live by. I would even make this as my life philosophy. I view life philosophy as an umbrella guide that I could implement in many circumstances. I'm sure gratitude fits in somewhere in our daily life. 

Everyday you just have to ask yourself, "What am I grateful for today?"

That is all my friends. Have a good one.
