Sometimes we go by life asking ourselves, What is success? What does it feel like to be successful? Success could be different for everybody, some might find themselves defined successful because they have a really good job that pays a lot of money, some might call themselves successful because they do what they love, perhaps not getting so much money but feeling as they enjoy their life and labor which gives them a pretty sweet taste of what it feels like to be successful.

Success is definitely different to everyone, and is reflected by the synchronization of your desires and your purpose in life with your personality, but for those who may feel a little bit of a void in their life, maybe you do have a great job that pays good but it does not fulfill your heart, maybe you are a stay at home mom who dedicates all her time to her children and her home but something is missing. As you go on in life, your desires change, your purpose evolves, your likes develop, and there’s only one thing that will give you the key to success at whatever stage in life you’re at, there’s only one thing that will give you whatever you need at that particular moment.

That one thing that will open doors, that will make life more colorful, that one thing that will bring abundance in your life is nothing more than gratitude. That is right! the one thing that will put you in the path to reach all of your heart’s desires is practicing gratitude. Studies show that we can deliberately cultivate gratitude, and can increase our well-being and happiness by doing so. In addition, grateful thinking—and especially expression of it to others—is associated with increased levels of energy, optimism, and empathy.

Gratitute is what we feel when we look at our kids, gratitude is that high vibrational and powerful feeling we experience when we choose to look at those things in our lives that makes us happy, but this is not something we should only feel in these moments, gratitude is a practice, when we look at gratitude as a necessary everyday practice we unleash the powers of the universe bringing a huge impulse of positive energy into our lives.

If you are not practicing gratitude everyday of your life, you are missing out on the magic that life has to offer, practicing gratitude doesn’t have to be a long ritual, but if you wake up in the morning and think about those things that make your life worth while and you full heartedly engage in the feeling of gratefulness, you will not only attract more love, joy, family, friends and anything else you’re grateful for; but you will also create a momentum for the rest of the day that will prevail in your conciousness and automatically attract a balanced flow to the rest of your day and therefore to your life.

Now this may seem very deep and crazy, but before we start analyzing energy and quantum physics and before we start trying to make sense of something that is bigger than our understanding and what our brains can process, dare to try it yourself, try starting a simple practice at the beginning of your day, maybe 30 seconds, think about what you’re grateful for in life, feel the sensation in your chest and body, breath deeply and let go. By following with this practice you will be unleashing the magic of the universe, you might just be surprise of how one simple 30 second practice can lead you to a happier and successful life.
