Thankful actions
Being thankful in your thoughts and words is a good starting
point. Yet the real power of gratitude comes when you put it
into action.
How do you put gratitude into action? By making the most of
the good things you have.
When you hoard and hide away your blessings, they soon
wither and die. When, on the other hand, you put them to
use, the good things in your life grow and multiply.
There is no better way to show your thankfulness and
appreciation for something than by using it for a positive,
productive, creative purpose. Do that, and the value you
already have grows even more valuable.
Whatever you have is not really yours unless you are truly
thankful for it. To be truly and effectively thankful for
it, make full and fruitful use of it.
Live with a thankfulness in your heart, in your thoughts
and, most importantly, in your every action. All the good
things you make use of will grow even better.
