Gratitude is the simplest of all qualities that one may cultivate in oneself. The harvest is always an improvement in all quality aspects of individual living itself. In cultivating gratitude the most significant aspect is that of its being genuinely felt so. There is absolutely no point in simply expressing gratitude. It is meaningless. But gratitude felt truly is amazingly effective and it needs not even any expression.
Gratitude is the universal key to abundance. In real practical sense, abundance is simply a reflection of individual successes attained. In short, gratefulness leads to success.
While cultivating gratefulness within, one must be aware towards the surfacing of forms of anger within that comes through a parallel rise in expectation. This aspect requires considerable management with effective use of wisdom of understanding realities relating to existing differences in qualitative gratefulness in different individuals. One has to learn that gratitude level of other individuals is different from own and adapt accordingly to remain in harmony.
On the staircase of gratitude one is well placed by holding on to the hand of higher end gratitude figure and extending the other hand to the lower end gratitude figure. Simply said, look at the example of gratefulness and strive to reach there and set an example of gratefulness at own level simultaneously.
The test of qualitative gratitude is done when an experience of true ingratitude is had. These are situations when one may feel that in this world exist individuals undeserving to be living in social boundaries. This is a world where selfishness reigns prime and gratitude is quashed for the sake of quick small time gains. The target is the one who cultivates gratitude. This is because with a rise in gratitude there is a strong possibility of rise of fragile compassion. This weakens the individual in gratitude. And the grateful individual becomes an easy prey to over ambitious ploys of the ungrateful or lesser grateful.
Sorrow and despondency is very likely to creep into the grateful individual in this situation that is like all lost and gone forever. It is from here that a whole new restructure is better quickly raised upon the solid foundation of gratitude that is free from compassionate weakness. Only this can prevent complete crash out of the heart broken grateful individual that is left helplessly stranded alone to open ridicule of all as questions relating to the very existence of following the principle of gratitude is raised in real sense.
This is actually where from true gratitude attains absolute intrinsic eternal strength. And when this appears and blooms, the power of gratefulness is well realised in its ever shining prime by one and all. Simply said, instead of focusing upon the ungrateful lot, focus upon the objectives and continue to move on ahead. Forget the ungrateful as quickly as possible. That is the best because it is impossible not to have such ungratefulness in existence.
