Gratitude


"When you give something to someone, obviously it is no longer yours. When you give the greengrocer money in exchange for a pound of cherries you are buying, you have a bit less money in your purse. But on the psychic plane, it is different: anything you give that is good and luminous makes you richer. Yes, and when you feel gratitude toward people, even if they give you nothing, you receive something. Does that surprise you? No, there is nothing surprising about it.
Gratitude is the opening of your heart and your soul, and by opening up in this way you receive everything beautiful and good that nature and life have to offer. Even if such gifts were not intended for you in particular, you will receive them, whereas those who are ungrateful receive nothing, even if the gifts were meant for them. Be grateful, and you will have the feeling that the whole of heaven is opening up for you. Even
if you have no reason for giving thanks, say many times a day, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord…’"

Do you agree? Why? Why not?

  1. I agree, because i think "gratitude" is one of the most important words. It makes someone look as a well-mannered person, which is very important too, and it open doors as the smile does, because a person who helps someone will expect at least a "thanks" in change, if not they would feel dissatisfied, that's why it's always important to say "thank you" even though it isn't really necessary, it will always count, and also, if it is possible, smile as well.

    I agree because when someone is grateful for you, you have the most beautiful feeling that whatever you did was not in vane.

    I agree because the feeling of gratitude can sometimes be much more precious than any material reward.

  7. I agree because gratitude is an action that shows you have been doing things right. And also is an important value everyone should have and that not everyone have it.

    -Do you agree? Why? Why not?
    I totally agree with this statement because gratitude is a completely positive feeling that is present only when you do a good action towards someone else. It does not mean that you have to give a gift or a do a favor to somebody, just give the best from your part and say ‘Thank you’.

  9. I completely agree with the text. You have to do things without expecting to receive anything, and feel really good about the only fact of doing it. I think that's the key to be happy.

  11. Me too, i read in some books and some magazines that you don't need many hours to meditate about it. 5 minutes, just FIVE minutes a day spent on thinking about the good things you have is enough to "Size the day"

  12. 1- I agree with the poem "Gratitude" because gratitude is a feeling, emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that has received or will receive. It’s very important say always “thank you”.

    I agree with the text because the gratitud is very important for people. Giving is receiving, and receiving is very important to say thank you and appreciate what the other person gave you even though we do not like, beyond the gift, appreciate the intention.

    We should not forget to be grateful, even down to the small details, and with everyone. Say "Thank you" is very simple, but wonderful. It is a beautiful poem! (:

  20. I agree because Gratitude is appreciation of someone who has done something desirable, helped us, and done a good deed. Giving thanks to somebody gives them a good feeling of being appreciated. Expressing gratitude calms the emotions. Expressing gratitude brings us into harmony and is good for the heart and soul. Expressing gratitude opens many doors to happiness, serenity and good health.

  22. I AGREE TOTALY BECAUSE I THINK THAT BEING “GRATEFUL” IS A VERY IMPORTANT VALUE IN LIFE. THE FEELING OF GRATITUDE DOES NOT COMPARES WITH ANYTHING AND SOMETIMES CAN BE BETTER THAN ANY MATERIAL THING.
