It All Starts With A Drop of Gratitude

Why is it that we think things have to be so hard in order to have this massive impact on our lives? As you will see below the practice of gratitude on a daily basis has helped me to create the life that I want to live. Gratitude has been the doorway through which I have passed that has allowed me to find the good in all of those places that before I had been unwilling to do. It had been through gratitude that I have learned to live more present in the now moment and just bask in the goodness that life has to offer. It has been with this simple practice that I have transformed my life more completely that all the work I have ever done at the gym, or dieting. Thought gratitude I have found once again just like nature when I stand in the current moment, look for the good, and do my best to express myself in that moment my life is filled with JOY! Sure I have my days and yet even when those I know that a drop of gratitude will help me transform any situation into the expression that I want to live. Get a group of friends together, start a gratitude game and see what happens. If you would like to join our group message me and let me know. You will be amazed at how it will transform your life.

Day 35: Stream, write down three things you're grateful for and if you really want to manifest what you want in life start a gratitude journal today that will continue on until you arrive at your destination.

Today's activity in Season of Change has had a profound impact on my life. For years, I have kept a gratitude journal and was amazing at the way it opened up my life. Only to find myself missing one day and then three and going back to my old habit of not being grateful at all. What if I miss a day? I have missed more than a couple of days doing my daily logging of the Seasons of Change. It is so easy to get lost in the business and think yeah. Yeah this is nice but I want something that is really going to change my life. I want to do something that I know it going to work.

We created a gratitude group at Amor Spiritual Center here on Facebook. It is a private group and we can share daily what we are grateful for. I started this daily practice with the desire to live the life that I talk about within the pages of this book. I wanted to live my life from a place of gratitude rather than from a place of lack, and fear. When I first started I really didn't notice that much. It was nice I was playing along with the rest of the group it was easy enough to do and it was easy not to do as well. I had made a commitment to myself and I intended to follow through with it.

Just like the stream that starts with a drop of water, so did my appreciation and gratitude for my life. I began to be more grateful for my beloved, in the way we look at each other, the way we talk to each other and the way we love each other. I began to see friends in a new light, and to be grateful for having them in my life. I began to be grateful for the lessons and that I had somewhere safe to process them and share what I was grateful for in the process. I realized I was no longer in the stream but was now living a grateful life that had depth, and that I was in a river of gratitude. How did that happen? When did that happen? Yet I kept on writing gratitudes and being grateful. Each day I would get up, and do the work that was easy to do and not to do. Each day I would take the few moments to start my day with gratitude and was amazed at the impact it was having on my life.

Here I am one year later living a life filled with gratitude willing to take on change knowing that it is the threshold through which new life comes. Having the willingness to dive in head first looking for things to be grateful for. Do I have my days where I miss, or I just don't want to be grateful? Yes, it is on those days however I find the greatest joy. Gratitude is like water once you get it going it really starts to flow. Before you know it you will be in an ocean of gratitude and love for yourself and those around you.

You are well worth the investment.

I love you,

Rev Allen
