Gratitude & The Perfect Life Partner.

Humble

When you have an attitude of gratitude you will find it very hard to be vain, self centered or otherwise obnoxious because when you are aware of what is great in your life it keeps you anchored to reality. While on the other hand, when you brag or go on about how great you are you send a message of insecurity and distress. What person who is really happy needs to brag or show off? When one cultivates feelings of thanksgiving one becomes more able to understand others and to empathise with them. Result: you will be seen as humble rather than egotistical or vain. Be thankful for your personal situation for it is forming you into exactly the person you need to be in this life.

Light

The final factor that I have found to come from being grateful is a feeling of lightness. When I am grasping and clawing for what ever it is that I am convinced I need my emotional state is very heavy and dark. Then again, when I am happy with where I am and what is going on suddenly I feel like I could leap tall buildings or even take flight! Which would you prefer? Which do you think your perfect life partner would prefer? Heavy or light? Dark or light?

After years of research I have found the simplest way to feel gratefulness is to focus on something alive; usually a plant, a scene in nature or even a sunset. Let your thoughts calm down as you gaze at the beauty that is all around. Even in the midst of the most horrible situations imaginable there is always beauty, calm, love and gratefulness. Let your mind explore the incredible complexity of even a simple plant. Let its perfection, so simple and yet so utterly mysterious, wash over you. Realize that this plant has no other purpose in life but to be the best plant it can be. It doesn’t worry, fret or live in fear. It simply explodes into life and does so with 100% commitment. As a feeling of awe comes over you, think about how amazing it is that your eyes can see that amazing plant, that your heart beats your entire life without a rest, that you have feelings and that you are alive right this moment! Then as you contemplate this amazing thing called you, in the amazing place called this world, spinning in space around a tiny star in the corner of one of untold quintillions of similar galaxies, be grateful. Let the mystery of it all wash over you and be grateful. You are alive. You are ALIVE! Be thankful, give praise, be happy, be humble, be light.

Do this on a regular basis and you will soon find yourself unable to sustain negative thoughts for any length of time or toxic relationships and that amazing people are showing up in your life. One of whom will become your perfect life partner or at least lead you to him or her.
