Gratitude is one of the best attitude one can have.
It helps us acknowledge the goodness in our lives.
In positive psychology research,
Gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness.
Recently I came across this beautiful story that explains the power of gratitude.
There was a bird who lived in the desert,
Very sick,
No feathers,
Nothing to eat and drink,
No shelter to live and kept on cursing his life day and night.
One day an angel was crossing from that desert.
Bird stopped the angel and inquired,
Where are you going?
Angel replied,
I am going to meet God.
So bird asked,
Angel,
Please ask God when my suffering will come to an end.
Angel said,
Sure I will and bid goodbye to the bird.
Angel reached God's place and shared the message of bird to him.
Angel told him how pathetic the condition of bird is and inquired when the suffering of the bird will end.
God replied,
For the next seven lifetimes the bird has to suffer like this,
No happiness till then.
Angel said,
When bird hears this,
He will get disheartened.
Could you suggest any solution for this?
God replied,
Tell him to recite this mantra.
Thank you God for everything.
Angel met the bird again and delivered the message of God to the bird.
After seven days,
The angel passed the same path again and saw that bird was so happy.
Feathers had grown on his body.
A small plant grew up in the desert area.
A small pond of water was also there.
The bird was singing and dancing cheerfully.
Angel was astonished to see how this happened.
As God said,
For seven lifetimes there is no happiness for the bird.
With this question in mind,
He went to visit God.
Angel asked his query.
Then God replied,
Yes,
It was written there will be no happiness for the bird for seven lifetimes.
But this has happened because the bird was reciting the mantra,
Thank you God for everything,
In every situation.
When bird fell down on the hot sand,
It said,
Thank you God for everything.
When it could not fly,
It said,
Thank you God for everything.
So,
Whatever the situation was,
The bird kept on repeating,
Thank you God for everything.
And therefore,
The seven lifetimes karma got dissolved in seven days.
Thank you God for everything.
I feel this is a kind of miracle mantra that can help to raise our vibrations and shift our views and perspectives about different situations in our life.
It can have a deep impact and make us believe how blessed we are and how good life is.
Love,
Light,
Peace and power to you.
Thank you God for everything.
Thank you God for everything.
Thank you God for everything.
