Feel Rich, Be Rich!

[Aassem]

Statistically if you're able to read this post, you're probably living a pretty decent life. You're not from the poorest country in the world and you're probably not a millionaire either. It's not very likely as well that you have one disability or more. So we can safely assume that you're quite in the middle between the rich and the poor; you don't have everything but you also have somethings.

So if it's only according to the stats, we can say that you have nothing to be blessed for and you have nothing to be indignant for as well, because you're on the average range. But the possibility of losing something precious, whether it's a physical or sensual ability at any time is there, right? So logically you're actually blessed to having at least one thing; you are blessed to have any of your sight, your hearing, to use your arms and legs properly and even to be able to breathe fine, because you can always lose any of these abilities without previous warning.

Now that we have proved that being grateful for having the least is nothing but logical, Let's find out the power of gratitude. Your gratitude guarantees you gaining the best benefits of anything you have; when you are just walking on the street on a hot day and a breath of air comes along while you pay attention to the air flowing over your skin and through your nostrils while breathing, you enjoy this breath of air more than any other person who's just busy doing something else, you make the most out of it. And this applies to everything you have, the more you're grateful to something, the more you benefit from it. When you're truly grateful for an amount of money you have, you benefit from this money the most, unlike someone who doesn't appreciate what he has so he easily loses it.

And when you make the most out of something, you improve yourself because you benefited the most from it, so you become more attractive to better opportunities, even slightly, which enables you to gain more money than you previously had. It's basically a cycle that goes on; you have gratitude> you benefit> you become better> you get more>.. So also logically gratitude makes you feel rich, so you be even slightly richer and richer as time goes by. But then there's this barrier that prevents us from being grateful most of the time, even when we have a lot. Which is our ego; we always feel that we deserve much more than what we have.

And it's true that we get less than what we deserve sometimes, but other times we find ourselves getting more as well. So we shouldn't ever let what we get and how we feel about ourselves hold us back from something that is really beneficial for us like gratitude.

Hope that was enlightening, Thanks for reading!
