Maintaining An Attitude of Gratitude
By Michael Muehleisen
There are many people today that are interested in opening their heart center, also known as the heart chakra. The reason they want to open this chakra is to experience divine love, and the bliss associated with it. There are also many people that are looking to develop a closeness with God that they never experienced before. The best way to accomplish both of these is by learning to give love; to the Divine, and to all of It's children. The easiest way to give this love is to learn how to return the abundant love we have showered upon us each day by God; and this is accomplished by keeping an attitude of gratitude. Nothing induces the giving of love as much as being thankful for the love, and blessings you receive. For many of us it is easy to find things to be grateful for in our lives; abundant food, a house, a loving spouse, children, and a job are to name a few. Some of us are going through tough times and it may not be as easy to find things to be thankful for, but when you think of it, no matter how rough the stretch of karma you are working through, there are still plenty of things to be grateful for. Material things are great, but the most important thing we all have to be thankful for is the gift of life. Each and every one of us exists because of God's love for us. I am not talking about this particular physical life you are now living, but the everlasting life we are all assured of by being the Children of God. We are all the Son's and Daughter's of God because we all have been given the Divine spark of consciousness from that part of God we call The Holy Spirit. There are many names for this part of God; The Holy Ghost, The Bani, The Eck, and many others. It does not matter what name your particular religion calls It, only that you realize that you are part of It, and that It enlivens you and all life. Physical bodies will change from lifetime to lifetime as we grow and mature as spiritual beings, but our true self is unchanging and eternal. By spending a few minutes each day giving thanks to God for the gift of life, and all the blessings and experiences that come with it, you will gradually open your heart chakra to receive, and realize Divine love. You will also develop an attitude of gratitude that will permeate your entire being and help you find the closeness with God that we all are looking for.

Gratitude is, indeed, one of the faculties that mankind enjoys but exercises too little. No matter what happens to you, you should always be grateful that you were able to experience it.
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi Coot, you are very perceptive. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you Mike. Gratitude and forgiveness are the two main ideal attitudes that we should all be mindful of. It is hard sometimes, but the harder it is the more mindful we should be.
Regards,
Jim
