Happy people are grateful, at all times. On this week\u2019s show, we learned some wonderful lessons about gratefulness from Master Tanaka, the protagonist in our modern fable of personal transformation, <em>The 3 Secrets of Happiness<\/em>. Here is what we learned:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>*Gratitude is Living in the Now, in the Present Moment<\/strong>.\u00a0 To have Gratitude fill your heart, simply appreciate everything that you are experiencing right now.\u00a0 Instead of dwelling on the past (regrets) or future (worries), keep your thoughts on the present. Express a deep caring and thankfulness for all of the good things in your life at this very moment: friendship, love, family, creativity, contribution, pleasurable and fun experiences, all of the modern conveniences and advantages of our technological world, and life itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\u201cBe Grateful Even for Even the \u201cBad\u201d Things in Your Life<\/strong>. Your gratitude will skyrocket when you can find gratitude in even the most difficult of life circumstances.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to be grateful for the benefits and rewards of life. But how about the difficult and painful things; can you be grateful for those too?\u00a0 If you can, your gratitude will grow exponentially. The key is to find the positive in the negative.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in a traffic jam, for example, be grateful that you have extra time to think, meditate, pray, or listen to music\u2014you might get a great idea while you\u2019re in traffic. If you\u2019re dealing with a rude or inconsiderate person, be grateful that you can learn the reverse lesson\u2014how not to be.\u00a0 You can learn tolerance and forgiveness from the judgmental person; you can learn peace from the angry person. All you have to do is decide to be the opposite of what they are. In this way, nothing you experience is ever wasted. Even the worst of circumstances (losses, setbacks) can teach you a lesson to improve your life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>*Recite a Gratitude Mantra Daily<\/strong>.\u00a0 Every day, repeat a gratitude phrase to yourself, something like: \u201cI am grateful for my breath, my life, and for this day. I am grateful for all I have experienced, or will experience. I am grateful for those I love because true love keeps growing and growing. I am grateful for those who are hateful because they teach me compassion and forgiveness.\u00a0 I am grateful for my successes because they are my inheritance from the Higher Nature. I am grateful for my failures because they are the Universe\u2019s way of keeping me humble so that, when I do experience ultimate success, I will appreciate it even more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>*Keep a Gratitude Journal<\/strong>.\u00a0 In a pad or notebook, write down three things you\u2019re grateful for every day. They can be small things like your deodorant, your toothpaste, or your favorite clothes. Or, they can be big things like your loved ones, your career, your body, your health, and your life.\u00a0 When you do this consistently, you will significantly increase your happiness level and even sleep better. Try it for a month and you will see that keeping a gratitude journal can work wonders in your life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Yes, happiness is within your reach. You can bring consistent joy into your life by following the powerful principles of gratitude: Be grateful in the moment, be grateful for what you call \u201cbad,\u201d recite a gratitude mantra, and keep a gratitude journal.\u00a0 When you do these things, you will see your joy rising, and your peace growing. At its core, the principle of gratitude is simple: Be grateful for everything that happens to you, whether you call it important or unimportant; good or bad. Gratitude covers all; it doesn\u2019t distinguish or discriminate between things, people, and events. Gratitude is simply a pure, flowing feeling of joy, peace, love, serenity, and excitement\u2014all wrapped up on one delicious package of delight. With Gratitude in your heart, you will always win.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/mr6h798h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON <strong>GRATITUDE: THE FIRST SECRET OF HAPPINESS: INVINCIBLE YOU SPECIAL EDITION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click here for the full show CLICK HERE FOR DR.
