R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 7: GRATITUDE: An Essential Frame of Mind

Give thanks and be Grateful. And do this in this season of Thanksgiving and each day throughout the year because when we are in the gratitude state of mind we can only see Good….. attract Good……..give Good—to ourselves, to those around us and to the world. This is an important element to bringing about your good life.

Now R.I.S.E. and REALIZE (your) INHERENT SELF-EXCELLENCE. Live by Design and Not By Default!! BarryJ


Namaste Reader: Today is Day 7, Thanksgiving Eve (actually day 8 of RISE Words if you count yesterday on which I didn't blog) and I want to start off by reminding myself and you about the purpose of R.I.S.E. Words and their usefulness to us. R.I.S.E. Words supports my belief that we are all individually made to live life fully, in a way that fulfills our needs and our desires--to have the "good life", the abundant life, as uniquely defined by us. We want to live by Design and not by Default. And as more and more people do this, the world will R.I.S.E. I also believe that bringing about one's good life requires a shift in consciousness and perspective about oneself and about life. R.I.S.E. Words is a daily dose of positive, transformative words affirmations that will aid us on this journey of self-discovery, fulfillment and living life by design.

P.S. Regarding the word Namaste, one meaning is: the Light in me, beholds and acknowledges the Light in you. Some substitute the words Divine, Christ, Spirit in place of the word Light. Namaste!


Additional Thoughts on today's blog on Gratitude:

In R.I.S.E. Words Day 2, De'Juan Galloway mentioned the importance of gratitude as a condition and a state of mind in bringing about one's visions, desires and dreams in life. Gratitude is a pure and attracting state; it draws to itself more good, more to be grateful for. It's the gratitude version of the saying, birds of a feather flock together, or best yet, "like attracts like". When you are in a state of gratitude the good is increased and the unappealing is minimized. Here's what I mean: when you are in a gratitude state of mind, it's nearly impossible to be negative or focused on the negative. In a gratitude state of mind you see the best in others and in yourself and you open your self to be the receptacle of more of Life's good. This is becuase of the attracting quality of gratitude that I just mentioned. Gratitude is powerful to seek and attract the good of life in and to and through oneself and other people, other things and other situations.
