THE INGRATITUDE OF THE UNGRATEFUL

 

Gratitude is not just an emotional feeling, it is also a skill; to feel grateful you must first be able to appreciate. Being appreciative of the kindness received and appreciating the effect that kindness has on you is Gratitude!

___

Gratitude fuels abundance. Being grateful for everything both big and small is what will cause you to receive more. Gratitude is a needed attitude in life; one that builds up a culture of appreciating the generosity of people.

___

But appreciation is what ungrateful people lack knowledge in. People who are ungrateful do not appreciate anything because they are never satisfied with anything. They have a sense of entitlement and feel that whatever they receive is due them. They never stop to paint you bad when you are unable to help them.

___

Ungrateful people are never content and always looking for ways to play the victim. Ungrateful people tend to blame everyone and everything except their lack of appreciation. They become bitter and jealous of others.

___

Ungrateful people try to recruit others in their actions. They care less about who or where their help comes from. They always have a reason for doing what they do and are highly pretentious! Ingratitude breeds disloyalty and a high level of an independent spirit.

___

So in this new month try practicing gratitude. Be grateful for life and for all things both big and small. Be grateful for where you are and for who you are. Be grateful to the people who have played a role in your life. Appreciate what they did for you and be grateful.
