Being Grateful Increases Personal Peace and Satisfaction
It
is interesting to observe that the most contented and happiest people are those
who fully embrace both their good and bad experiences. Such people know and
understand that the hurdles, problems and even the awful events they have
experienced were all important and crucial aspects of their personal journeys.
As
spiritual beings temporarily trapped in the human form our purpose in this life
is to experience what is needed for our spirits, the spirits of others, and
indeed the universe, to grow and expand.
At different points in our respective
life journeys, each of these spiritual needs will be experienced and fulfilled
(but not always in ways that our mental and emotional selves desire).
It
is important to understand that your life experiences are for your spiritual
growth, not your human, mental, or emotional growth.
When you fully grasp this
concept, it is a whole lot easier to have gratitude for everything life throws
at you, rather than just the things, events and people your human aspect
considers good.
At
a macro level the more you are honestly and deeply grateful for: a) being alive, and b) the experiences you have at each particular point along your own path,
then the more satisfied and at peace you will be when it is time for you to
pass beyond this particular world.
