5 THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR TODAY!

5 THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR TODAY!
TEAMSOUL



Number 1: You Are Alive
Let’s start at the bottom, with something we ALL take for granted. The biggest thing we usually take for granted is… OUR LIFE. Our life and the lives of those we love.
We all see examples of lives that end suddenly, and far too soon, but most of us still take our own life for granted, as if it could never happen to us, or our loved ones.
No one has any guarantee of next year, next month or even tomorrow. Be thankful for the life and time you do have, especially for those you love.

Number 2: Your Health

If you’re like most people, your first thought when you are unwell is ‘I just want to be better’ …but when we are better, most of us, still fill our bodies with food and substances we shouldn’t, and feed our mind with negativity and stress which is not needed, and causes disease in our body.
Be grateful today that you have your health. If you have an illness or disease – be grateful for the parts of your body that ARE healthy.Those positive vibes will spread and at the very worst will make you FEEL BETTER. If you are really spreading positive vibes and gratitude for your health, chances are you can replace your prescription drugs with positive thoughts and gratitude in a very short space of time.

Number 3: Opportunity

We live in an age abundant with opportunity. Never has there been a time in human history with more options to create your own income, do things you love, in your own way, in your own time and get paid for it.The earning potential today is virtually limitless, and unlike many years ago you do not need a fancy education to achieve it. All you need is the will to learn and a great belief in yourself.
Be grateful for the abundance of opportunities and trust your intuition on which path you should take. It might not happen right away, and you may well fail many times before you reach success, but you can ALWAYS be grateful, for there is ALWAYS opportunity to start again, and this time with more wisdom.

Number 4. The People In Your Life

This doesn’t mean you have to feel LOVE for ALL family members and friends at ALL times. You might feel grateful for some family members who have taught you valuable life lessons (like exactly how you don’t want to be). You might be grateful for some who may have given you pain, for they made you stronger.
But most importantly be grateful for the family and friends you love the most.Those that will always stand by your side, no matter what. If you aren’t blessed to have this on your life right now, be grateful that you are on the path to becoming the person that will attract those people in your life, in the near future. Be grateful YOU can be that person to someone else, because you were shown the opposite.

Number 5. Be Grateful For The Hard Times.

The hard times are our greatest teachers, and where we grow our strength and character the most. It is certainly not easy feeling appreciative of challenging times, especially when you are in the middle of one. But if you can recall some difficult moments from your past, i’m sure you will find that, most often, those difficult times lead to something better in your life.
Life is not always easy, and that is exactly how it was meant to be. It would be a pretty boring existence if everything went exactly to plan, every time.
Be grateful for those challenges, the pain and struggle for it made you who you are today, and you are perfect, exactly as you are.



Be Grateful - All Great Teachers teach this....

September is Gratitude Month: Paulo Coelho: Quotes on Gratitude

Paulo Coelho: Quotes on Gratitude



59. A miracle happened: another day of life.


Be grateful for each breath that flows through you because tomorrow is not promised. Use your time to brings your dreams to life and always ask yourself, “If this were my last day, will I be doing the same thing that I’m about to do?”

60. I must try and enjoy all the graces that God has given me today. Grace cannot be hoarded. There are no banks where it can be deposited to be used when I feel more at peace with myself. If I do not make full use of these blessings, I will lose them forever.


Abundance isn’t stored in banks. It’s a state of being. You have to cultivate abundance by practicing gratitude and doing the things that bring you joy.

61. When we can do nothing else, we can still love, without expecting any reward or change or gratitude.


It’s amazing that in our capitalistic society, how many people lose touch with the best human qualities: empathy, the ability to love, to nurture. No matter how high you rise, never stop being kind and never stop nurturing others. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

62. The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.


Whether you want to build a big business or attract the right relationship in your life, you have to be patient. Transformation and success don’t happen overnight. Moreover, whatever is your present situation in your life, you have to embrace it, learn from it, and use it as a tool to grow.

September is Gratutude Month: Maya Angelou: Quotes on Gratitude

Maya Angelou: Quotes on Gratitude



55. The children to whom we read simple stories may or may not show gratitude, but each boon we give strengthens the pillars of the world.


The more you give, the more you restore others’ faith in humanity and the goodness in the world. So keep giving, keep nurturing others. Among all quotes on gratitude, this really stands out.

56. The ship of my life may or may not be sailing on calm and amiable seas. The challenging days of my existence may or may not be bright and promising. Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude. If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow. Today I am blessed.


Don’t hate your life due to external things. If you do, you give your power away to the external circumstances. Take your power back and feel good with what you have all the time.

57. Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.


These beautiful, poetic words by Maya Angelou show that gratitude and faith can help you overcome all adversity in life and invite all the goodness of the world.

58. Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence, neither speed up, nor slow down, add to, nor diminish it is an imponderable valuable gift.


Value your time and value those who share their time with you. It’s perhaps the most powerful resource you have. Wise people use it to create great things, create happiness for them as well for others. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

September is Gratitude Month: Deepak Chopra: Quotes on Gratitude

Deepak Chopra: Quotes on Gratitude



50. Gratitude opens the door to… the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the universe. You open the door through gratitude.


When you feel gratitude, you fill your vessel. And when you feel full inside, that’s when you have access to the higher powers – the creativity and wisdom of this world. That’s when you can envision a great future and work towards making it a reality.

51. Gratitude is a divine attitude in the wisdom traditions. It takes you out of the ego self and takes you into the higher self. That higher state of consciousness initiates self-repair, self-regulation, and healing.


It is our ego that hurts us with messages that say “you’re not enough”, “keep running for more”, “money is everything”. In the state of gratitude, ego takes a backseat and we experience true healing. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

52. Gratitude is one of the most effective ways of getting in touch with your soul.


When you thank the universe, you raise your vibration and access the higher powers of self-actualization and self-awareness. From that place, it’s easy to realize who you are the core of your soul.

53. Gratitude is a state of being in which we feel connected to everything in the universe. It is a fullness of the heart that recognizes the blessings of nature within and without. Gratitude is love for the goodness of life itself.


We are all swimming in the same ocean, experiencing it from our different shores. Gratitude is a tool to make this experience full of joy and contentment.

54. My Intent today is to expand the flow of abundance through the energy of gratitude.


Use gratitude as a spiritual tool to invite the abundance of everything into your life. With gratitude, you’ll never have a lack of money or happiness. This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

September is Gratitude Month: Tony Robbins: Quotes on Gratitude XXXXX

Tony Robbins: Quotes on Gratitude XXXXX



44. When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears.

Fear tells us that we’re not good enough. But if we see all the good there is in our lives, the lies fear sells us are exposed. And the fear vanishes.


45. Without gratitude and appreciation for what you already have, you’ll never know true fulfillment.


What’s the point of wanting more if you’re not enjoying what you already have? Start appreciating everything you have and this life will turn into heaven.

46. I don’t believe in waiting for great feelings. I need to wire myself for positivity and gratitude. I need to build a highway to those.


You don’t need to wait for a huge change to happen to feel blissful. Understand that you’re the creator of your world. So focus on the good and bliss will come naturally.

47. The antidote to fear is gratitude. The antidote to anger is gratitude. You can’t feel fear or anger while feeling gratitude at the same time.


The root of anger is pain. When we are hurt, we lash out at others so that they don’t hurt us again. And the root of fear is ego – it tells us that we’re not good enough. When we feel gratitude, pain transforms into contentment, and the ego takes a backseat. That’s how fear and anger are defeated. Among all quotes on gratitude, this one stands out.

48. The third element of success is your state: You must replace a default state of pessimism or anger with one of determination, of will, of generosity, of curiosity, of gratitude. The more we can put ourselves in such beautiful states rather than suffering states, the more they become habits of being and we end up making better decisions.


Our emotional nature is an emotional habit. Just as some people have a habit of being lazy, similarly some of us have a habit of being sad and ungrateful. Change these habits, take charge, and see how life turns around.

49. If you’re gonna make a change, you’re gonna have to operate from a new belief that life says life happens not to me but for me.


You are the creator, so it’s in your power to choose a healthy belief for your own good. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

September is Gratitude Month: Dalai Lama: Quotes on Gratitude

Dalai Lama: Quotes on Gratitude



33. I find hope in the darkest of days and focus on the brightest. I do not judge the Universe.


When the weather is bright, everyone can be happy and thankful. But when there are storms, that’s when you need to focus on the good. Realize that everything is temporary and focus on the good.

34. The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.


If you appreciate relationships, you will invest in them and more joy will come from relationships in your life. And if you appreciate religion, you will invest in it, and more religious wisdom and bliss will flow into your life. The things you appreciate, flow in abundance your way.

35. We don’t need more money, we don’t need greater success or fame, we don’t need the perfect body or even the perfect mate. Right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness.


The mind is our only tool to experience this life. Yet few of us put in the effort to master it. That’s why many of us have to numb it with alcohol or other substances because it isn’t in our control. You need to use your mind well, adopt an attitude of gratitude so that you can feel abundance flowing your way. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

36. Every day, think as you wake up: Today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive. I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.


We can plant the seed for the coming day in the very morning. How you spend the first few minutes of your day largely determine the kind of experience you will have throughout your day. So in the morning, fill your heart with gratitude for every little thing that is given to you.

37. When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, ‘Oh yes – I already have everything that I really need.


There’s no end to wanting more. That’s the nature of the ego. Then how can you experience contentment? The answer is: by practice. You need to feel content every day by focusing on the good. And soon you’ll stop running for more and a natural rhythm will set in.

38. The creatures that inhabit this earth – be they human beings or animals – are here to contribute to the beauty and prosperity of the world. The food we eat, the clothes we wear, have not just dropped from the sky. This is why we should be grateful to all our fellow creatures.


The things that we take for granted – it took years or centuries for human beings to invent them or discover them. From inventing fire to building electricity and airplanes, the human experience gets enriched with each generation – don’t take this human experience for granted.

39. Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.


Time doesn’t wait for anybody. The task is to make use of that time well. Ask yourself, “How can I make it meaningful?” Among all quotes on gratitude, this one stands out.

40. When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect towards others.


When we thank the Universe, we find that a large part of our happiness comes from our relationships. Without our loved ones, we’ll feel lost. So gratitude builds a sense of respect towards them.

41. Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.


When you think life has taken something from you, there is a big chance that you were meant to learn from it and change the course. For example, Steve Jobs was fired from his own company. But according to him, it gave him the opportunity to start from scratch and enter one of the most creative periods in his life. It was during this period that he started Pixar, the animation company.

42. For a person who cherishes compassion and love, the practice of tolerance is essential, and for that, an enemy is indispensable. So we should be grateful to our enemies, for it is they who can best help us develop a tranquil mind.


Our best teachers are our worst enemies. Why? Because if they make us uncomfortable and we can’t come to terms with them, there’s something the Universe wants us to learn from them. And until we learn, we will never come to terms with them.

43. Appreciate how rare and full of potential your situation is in this world, then take joy in it, and use it to your best advantage.


We have the opportunity to influence others, enjoy the life we have, and create things out of our imagination. Don’t take these abilities for granted.

September is Gratitude Month: Oprah Winfrey: Quotes on Gratitude

Oprah Winfrey: Quotes on Gratitude




18. Every morning when I open my curtains for that first look at the day, no matter what the day looks like—raining, foggy, overcast, sunny—my heart swells with gratitude. I get another chance.


Every day you get a fresh chance at life. Don’t underestimate it. So many people are struggling for their lives due to terrorism, abuse, and poverty. But you get to do something you like. Honor this gift.

19. I know for sure that only by owning who and what you are can you step into the fullness of life. I feel sorry for anyone who buys into the myth that you can be what you once were. The way to your best life isn’t denial. It’s owning every moment and staking a claim to the here and now. And I’m grateful for every age I’m blessed to become.


Who wants to go back and become their past version of themselves? You’ve got this far to learn your lessons and come to your truth. Accept it, own it, live it, and thank the Universe for this journey. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

20. I live in the space of thankfulness — and for that, I have been rewarded a million times over. I started out giving thanks for small things, and the more thankful I became, the more my bounty increased. That’s because — for sure — what you focus on expands. When you focus on the goodness in life, you create more of it.


If you focus on stress due to work, it will expand in your life – your boss will call you to meet deadlines, your colleagues will point out the dark circles under your eyes. Whatever you focus on expands, so why not use this wisdom to create a healthy, powerful life. Focus on the good.

21. Being grateful all the time isn’t easy. But it’s when you least feel thankful that you are most in need of what gratitude can give you: perspective. Gratitude can transform any situation. It alters your vibration, moving you from negative energy to positive. It’s the quickest, easiest most powerful way to effect change in your life — this I know for sure.


Gratitude has the power to transform negativity. And isn’t this all we need? Everyone wants to move from a cold, unloving place in their lives to a loving, warm, positive place.

22. Some days the awareness of the sanctity and sacredness of life brings me to my knees with gratitude. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the idea that the little girl from Mississippi who grew up holding her nose in an outhouse now flies on her own plane — my own plane! — to Africa to help girls who grew up like her.


Think of what you had ten years back. And then think of now. You’ll be surprised at how life has rewarded you and also amazed at how you’ve been ignoring it the whole time.

23. I live in a state of exhilarated contentment (my definition of happiness), fueled by a passion for everything I’m committed to: my work, my colleagues, my home, my gratitude for every breath taken in freedom and peace. And what makes it sweeter is knowing for sure that I created this happiness. It was my choice.


You have to have an appreciation for life. It gives you the energy, passion, and enthusiasm to live, work, and shine! You are the creator. So create a happy life full of vibrancy and joy. Smile, laugh, love, and live! This is one of the best quotes on gratitude.

24. Wherever you are in your journey, I hope you, too, will keep encountering challenges. It is a blessing to be able to survive them, to be able to keep putting one foot in front of the other — to be in a position to make the climb up life’s mountain, knowing that the summit still lies ahead. And every experience is a valuable teacher.


Challenges elevate our life to a higher life. At first, they might seem tough, but once we go through them, we come out stronger and better on the other side. You have to thank the Universe for giving you an opportunity to rise higher.

25. The single greatest thing you can do to change your life today would be to start being grateful for what you have right now. And the more grateful you are, the more you get.


Everyone wants more, more money, a better house, a better car, bigger vacations. You need to savor the here and the now. Because your entire life is captured in the present moment that will pass away without you knowing about it.

26. The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.


We need to be thankful for the human experience. It is in our power to feel joy and bliss just by turning on some music and dancing with our friends. It’s not that hard to feel blissful, but we take it for granted. We can sing, laugh, dance, and marvel at the beauty of life – celebrate this gift.

27. For years I’ve advocated keeping a gratitude journal, writing down five things every day that brought pleasure and gratefulness. Appreciating what shows up in your life changes your personal vibration. Gratitude elevates your life to a higher frequency.


When you remember the things that you’re grateful for, your vibration raises and all negativity dissolves. From this place of positivity and abundance, life becomes a joy to live.

28. I don’t think you ever stop giving. I really don’t. I think it’s an ongoing process. And it’s not just about being able to write a check. It’s being able to touch somebody’s life.


You have the ability to touch someone’s life with your creative abilities. It might not be a huge thing for you, but for them, it may change their entire world.

29. What I know for sure is that what you give comes back to you.


Some people have a scarcity mentality. They don’t share their knowledge with others because they think others will use them to rise above than them. But the truth is that there is enough abundance in this world for everyone to win, to feel content. So don’t be afraid to give. This is one of the most powerful quotes on gratitude.

30. What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.


As said earlier, you need to focus on the good in life. Thank the Universe for the people that love you, the home you are given, the ability to read and expand your mind, the ability to enjoy music. You’ll be surprised to know that many people don’t have these privileges.

31. Here’s the gift of gratitude: In order to feel it, your ego has to take a backseat. What shows up in its place is greater compassion and understanding. Instead of being frustrated, you choose appreciation. And the more grateful you become, the more you have to be grateful for.


When we feel we don’t have enough, it’s our ego firing back at us. In such way of thinking, our ego tells us that we need to have a certain social status or a certain type of house to feel happy. As Jim Carrey says, “how tricky is this ego that it promises us with something that we already have – our own light.” The light, the abundance, the joy, the creativity – is inside of you, don’t search it outside.

32. Whenever you can’t think of something to be grateful for, remember your breath. With each breath you take, you can say, ‘I’m still here.’ Make each day a holiday of thankfulness -and give yourself the gift of gratitude!


We take the human experience for granted – the ability to sing, read, talk, get entertained, run, feel joy and bliss. Be thankful that you’re alive, thank the universe for each breath, every day.
