In general, if someone would ask me if I was grateful for x, I’d reply “yes” as an intellectual answer. But actually, I’m probably not experiencing the gratitude.
To experience gratitude, for me, I need to take a moment, think about x, and really get present to it’s greatness in my life.
And then gratitude becomes awesome.
I really became aware of the power of gratitude after seeing The Secret. That’s right, you heard.
Being in a mindset of gratitude is really a powerful place. It fights frustration, depression and anxiety… and puts me in an optimistic place where I can make a difference instead of being at the effect of something else.
There are many things I’m grateful for, and I’m also grateful for Gratitude.
Very “meta” on Thanksgiving.
I hear you

Well said. Thanks for posting! Being present is the best way to feel anything and I think the mindset of gratitude is just as you described. Being grateful for gratitude – what a lovely thought.

Is The Secret a movie? If so, who’re the actors? I couldn’t find it 🙂
Thanks Rex (I decided there are too any anonymous already :D)

The Secret was a book and a movie. The movie. Not a movie in theatres, on DVD only. Possibly streaming too. It’s not a narrative movie bit a series of interviews with scientists and philosophers about the law of attraction in quantum physics and hours it affects our lives. Rhonda Byrne wrote it, I believe
