Who is there to thank if I am the sole creator of my own reality?
THE QUESTION:
Could you explain the point of feeling grateful toward another person or even the sun (nature) for appearing and warming us? What tangible benefit does this offer me in the present moment?
After all, I am the one who created everything around me, from the weather to how people treat me. So, technically, there is no real need to express gratitude, right?
THE RESPONSE:
There is really no need to manufacture gratitude, as everything already exists. However, being in a state of appreciation is effectively an ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the best aspects of what you observe. In that moment, any conflicting frequencies are dampened and neutralized.
Consequently, if gratitude is your default state and criticism feels unnatural, then your life becomes filled with things that delight you. It becomes saturated with your own frequency.
If you force gratitude without feeling genuine appreciation, you are merely deceiving yourself; the frequency of dissatisfaction will still manifest, while your mind concludes that "gratitude practices simply don't work."
Therefore, if you truly find a reason to be grateful to someone who previously wronged you, you have successfully transcended a limiting frequency and stepped outside the cycle that created that situation. By doing so, you have opened a new, more joyful path for the events in your life to follow.
