What is Gratitude?

Gratitude is the quality of being thankful, readiness to show application for, and to return kindness it is like building relationships. A relationship builds on emotions. Gratitude, rhymes with attitude, it is derived from the Latin word gratus. Which means “thankful, pleasing. When we feel gratitude, we are someone who did form us. We also pleased with the results. Unlike indebtedness, you’re not anxious about having to pay it back. Gratitude helps us to feel more positive emotions, improve health conditions, and give mental peace. We can express gratitude in multiple ways. However, Gratitude is a powerful emotion, which can make our life better in many ways. It also helps us overcome stress.

For example,

Suppose you got some stuff to say some stationary for your child. Your child comes and took it without even a smile and said that’s our duty and I am entitled to it as I am your son. How would you feel? U will still bring him all those things needed for him, but just as a duty. On the other hand now instead of this, when the child sees you got something for him,  and he is extremely happy, joyful seeing that. Now in this situation how will you feel? It’s like now you have a relationship with your child which is full of happiness, joy, love, care.  Before the case, it was just a duty.

Free Will to Practice Gratitude

The same is here. We get things based on our karma true. But when we show gratitude for the things which we have in life it’s like we are building a beautiful relationship with mother earth, with nature, with Divine. Our present life is not completely dependent on past karma. Past karma is only one factor. Another important factor is free will. We cannot do much about the karma of the past. But we can use free will to face the karma of past life and create a beautiful future. Gratitude falls under free will.

We become better human beings and the negative karma we generate in life reduces.

2. With gratitude as our companion,  forgiveness becomes easy. Many diseases in life are due to the inability to forgive themselves or others. With gratitude, we can move beyond this and live a healthy, happy life.
