Being Thankful Extends Beyond The Dinner Table

Ready to devour some turkey, my friend? When it comes to Thanksgiving, it’s typically associated with the abundant food on the table. Not to mention, there could be room for dessert as well! However, did you really take the time to thank those who prepared the food for you such as your friends, family, and others who may be influential in your life? When it comes to being thankful, it extends beyond the dinner table. It involves you, my friend, to have the gratitude needed to give thanks to the people around you that extends beyond the dinner table. Let me show you some key components that are necessary.

 

First, it’s important for you, my friend, to let go of the negative associations of others. Yes, that does mean to thank your enemies as well. You may not be immediately thankful for your enemies, but they do form an important part of your life that molded you in a specific way. You may not realize it immediately, but it’s true. If your enemies gave you anything, it would be the lessons of what NOT to do in your life, assuming you do all the right things. On the other hand, if you happen to realize that your enemies are righteous, take the time to thank them for being present in your life and ask them for their advice!Not only enemies, negative associations can happen with your friends, family, and others as well. It can happen due to something you do not necessarily agree. Nonetheless, they must deserve thanks even if they may not be thankful back to you. When you give thanks, you dissolve the negative associationsfor yourself, even if others cannot dissolve their own negative associations due to problems beyond your control. Letting go of those negative associations can lead you to a place where you can move ahead and feel more gratitude.

 

Second, it’s important to demonstrate more patience. One part of being thankful is to have the capacity to wait, so that you can be more thankful. We can be impatient, and we tend to like things quickly. However, that impatient mindset can prove detrimental when it comes to demonstrating true thanks. Giving thanks is a steadier process that cannot be rushed. Instead of expecting immediate gratification, realize that you may have togive thanks and wait before what you truly desire comes. For example, it can take many years for the person of your dreams to show up when you least expect that encounter today. However, being truly thankful means to have that capacity to wait, even when life seems to be the literal opposite of what you envisionin the present moment. When you have that capacity to wait, that can make you more thankful not only for yourself, but for others as well.

 

Third, it’s crucial to have more faith. Having the capacity to believe the right outcomes will happens is a key factor in an attitude demonstrating more thankfulness everywhere. You can start demonstrating faith on your job by taking more initiative, in your home by being a proactive person, and everywhere by being the bold spirit you can be. There are obviously more ways to demonstrate faith, but it’s crucial to have that quality of faithif you, my friend, want to move ahead in life with thankfulness.Having faith simply means to be more expectant of positive and right outcomes in life. When you, my friend, demonstrate more faith, you, my friend, can truly move ahead and be thankful everywhere you go!

 

Fourth, please realize that being thankful is a process. It’s a complex process that involves not only trust, but a combination of the three factors mentioned earlier. It involves you to have more satisfaction in life by demonstrating the three factors above and having trust in the whole process. It can take a longer amount of time if you’ve been feeling more negative. It can be very quick if you’re feeling more positive. Whether you give thanks on Thanksgiving Day or any other day of the year, giving thanks for others is a process.

 

Once all of the components are put together, you may effectively give thanks for your friends, family, and others in your life who support you the most. It’s a matter of demonstrating the thanks by letting go of negative associations, having more patience, having more faith, and realizing that thankfulness is a process. It may not come easily to everyone, but it can work once implemented and repeatedly practiced. Anyone can be thankful for anyone or anything in life as long you start being thankful for yourself first. In that way, you, my friend, can be thankful for everyone at the dinner table and beyond. When you fully understand this, you, my friend, may sense that radiance of Strivulence!
