Gratitude is so much more than just a "feel good" emotion. Feeling gratitude is your connection to your spirit as you share in the beauty of life. Gratitude is your spirit playing with life, looking for the many good things, both large and small, that happen every moment. Gratitude is a genuine soul-felt appreciation for being personally involved with life.

The more gratitude we feel, the more optimism, relaxation, and overall happiness we experience. That's because focusing on gratitude shifts our attention away from stress and worry and has us look at the bright side of things. Concentrating on things we are grateful for brings us deep into our divinity, beyond the conflict and drama, where we can focus on what is most important to us. What we focus on expands.

One of the greatest gifts anyone can give to themselves and to the world, is the gift of gratitude. Gratitude is not about being loving and happy only when life is ideal. Instead, gratitude is an awareness that while things may not always be perfect, life is still filled with wonder and beauty. It's right there, in front of our eyes, within reach, available to us - all we have to do is take a breath and allow ourselves to participate in the beauty.

If you've spent a better part of your time lately focusing on what's wrong, what's bad, what's frightening, or what's missing, then you might be surprised at how easy it can be to turn things around. The simplest exercise is to begin writing a daily gratitude journal. In addition, below are five innovative ways to expand gratefulness that will soon have you feeling the spirit of genuine appreciation and joy.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.
Albert Einstein

You have all the reason in the world to achieve your grandest dreams. Imagination plus innovation equals realization.
Denis Waitley

The key to life is imagination. If you don’t have that, no mater what you have, it’s meaningless. If you do have imagination… you can make feast of straw.

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
Buddha

Never do anything that taints your mind. Wrong actions cause negative or evil mental vibrations that are reflected in your whole appearance and personality. Engage in those actions and thoughts that nurture the good qualities you want to have.
Paramahansa Yogananda

In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself.

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
