Gratitude is Under Rated Life Force

Gratitude is a window into the state of one’s sense of self worth.

Iridology is the practice of looking into one’s pupils and diagnosing the body’s state of health. Iridologists see the eyes as “windows” into the body’s state of health.-wikipedia

A person with gratitude is happy they are alive. They see each day as an opportunity to carry out their contribution. That contribution might be helping their family get through life or helping customers solve problems or finding a cure for a disease.

Gratitude is reflected in your words, how you treat people, how you treat events, how you go about your work or fun, and the look on your face. Like looking into your pupils, it is detectable.

The opposite could be said for each item of people who see the glass as half full. Things are always wrong, life is stacked against you, it is not certain things will turn out for the best, you have to be really careful or it will get you, and so on. This attitude is also like looking into your pupils. It might result in sickness and disease.

We can have gratitude right now. Just start thinking of the things you are happy about and your opportunities to make your life better. Life is tough, but having passions make the difficulties seem smaller. Enjoying nature makes every day a possible blessing.

Valuing the worth of others makes seeking better relationships worthwhile. Becoming a part of the environment or community is better than being sequestered. There are communities for every interest.

There is hardly anyone that can’t contribute in some small way. Stephen Covey in the 8th Habit says its our purpose to express ourselves and help others do the same.

It’s a magical tool. You can flip the switch.
