GRATITUDE written by Dr Angel Adams

One of the most important gifts we have as humans is that of accessing gratitude. Brother David Steindl-Rast, is a monk and interfaith scholar. He and Thich Naht Hahn marched peacefully in 1962 against the nuclear proliferation. He tells us that the practice of gratefulness is all about grateful living. He states: What we really want is joy. We don’t want things. Gratitude is a form of giving. When your family and friends feel the joy and the resolve radiating from you (even after the roadblocks you may experience), they will surely feel that they are blessed to have you in their lives. When you consciously practice gratitude, you will find yourself in a state of receivership. Blessings will appear because you have trained your eye and your heart to see and feel the many gifts that are given to you. Whenever you switch from worrying to gratitude, it often works like magic, simply because you remove the suffering that accompanies the fear, even if you receive the same result! Why? Because it prepares you to accept the outcome, knowing there is so much in life you cannot control.
Can you be grateful for even the unpleasant feelings? Pema Chodrin, Buddhist nun and prolific writer, says it so beautifully: “When you wake up in the morning and out of nowhere comes the heartache of alienation and loneliness, could you use that as a golden opportunity? She reminds us that there is actually an option of choosing to relax into this golden moment that connects you to your human heart. Instead of panicking, replace your fear and trust in the power of gratefulness and mindfulness which go hand in hand. Can you be thankful for some of those blessings in disguise, or the emotions that Rumi calls “visitors”, or what I call my “teachers”? What can you learn from your teachers?
Spend the next few moments rememberig any of the events that happened unbeknownst to you initially that were blessings in disguise. When you open your heart with thankfulness for everything, you are accepting yourself as a human being who has awakened and listens to your special calling in this world.
Today I will tell someone how thankful I am to have them in my life. I acknowledge my friends, children and others for any efforts they have made to be thoughtful or kind. If it feels appropriate, I will make eye contact and smile when walking past a stranger (instead looking down or away). I am aware of our humanness and allow kindness to be seen from my eyes no matter who I interact with. I am empowered with gratefulness in my daily life which guides me when I am confronted with change. I watch how the universe begins to reciprocate.
