Practising gratitude is the most virtuous habit of human beings. Feeling grateful about every little thing that makes life more significant and beautiful is a quality to swear by.

A lot of times, feeling blessed is perceived as a declining willingness to set newer goals and work towards achieving them. Gratitude is not about hiding in one’s own shell. Rather, it makes you resilient and welcoming. 

Gratitude paves the way for flexibility in actions.    

How can being thankful for a gift become a barrier to growth?

We all are grateful towards our parents, but does that mean we stop loving them or doing good to them? Rather, we do more for them because we acknowledge their significance in our lives. Similarly, when you are grateful for life, you feel responsible for making the most of the days that are an invaluable gift. 

What are the things that a grateful heart and mind perspire?

Keeps us hopeful

Hope is the reason behind work put at the time of despair. Why do we feel the need to get up and work again despite falling many times? It is because somewhere, we know that things will eventually work in our favour. This feeling is called hope! A hopeful heart has the maximum optimism and a positive attitude towards life’s obstacles.

Remind us of the strength we hold

The fact that we can want something for ourselves and then work to bring that into existence is the most amazing thing about life. If you look at where you are standing now and the distance you covered to reach this far, you would be surprised to look at your own journey and the strength you withstood so far. 

Expands the responses

A grateful heart looks at every situation of life with an abundant mindset. When it is scarcity that reincarnates response, it would be tightfisted, mean, recreational and closed off. A grateful heart will always be more creative, generous, resourceful, kind and open to growth.  

Leads to lesser complain

Why do we keep on complaining about things that we don’t have? It is because we are not grateful for things that we already have. Complaints always lead to an envious and grudgeful nature that is never well-appreciated. It promotes the scariest comparisons that are the primary reason for destruction.

When a grateful heart looks at a half-filled glass, it doesn’t look at what is missing but rather focuses on what is existing.  

Finding a solution to all your problems might not seem a feasible solution to all the problems, but then understanding them well would cater so many well-defined needs.
