                               GRATITUDE

There was a bird who lived in the desert; very sick, no feathers, nothing to eat and drink, no shelter to live and kept on cursing his life day and night.

One day, an Angel was crossing that desert, the bird stopped the Angel and inquired "where are you going?" Angel replied " I am going to meet the CREATOR ".

So, the bird asked the angel 'Please ask The CREATOR when my suffering will  come to an end?' Angel said " sure, I will" and bid good bye to bird. Angel reached The Abode of The Most High  and shared the message of the bird with Him.

 Angel told Him how pathetic the condition of the bird is and inquired when the suffering of the bird will end. The Almighty replied "For the next seven life times, the bird has to suffer like this, no happiness till then".

Angel said when the bird hears this, he will get disheartened. Could You suggest any solution for this?

The CREATOR replied: Tell him to recite this mantra "Thank you Lord for everything". Angel met the bird again and delivered the message of The Almighty to the bird.

After seven days, the Angel passed the same path again and saw that bird was so happy; feathers had grown on his body, a small plant grew up in the desert area, a small pond of water was also there, the bird was singing and dancing cheerfully. Angel was astonished as to how this happened, 'The Lord said for seven life times, there is no happiness for the bird'... with this question in mind, He went to visit The CREATOR.

 Angel asked his query, then The Lord replied: "Yes, it was written there will be no happiness for the bird for seven life times but because the bird was reciting the mantra "Thank you Lord for everything"  in every situation.

 When bird fell down on the hot sand, it said "thank you Lord for everything", when it could not fly it said "thank you Lord for everything", so whatever the situation, the bird kept on repeating "Thank you Lord for everything" and therefore the seven life times' karma got dissolved in seven days".

When I heard this story, it landed me in a different energy zone, i felt a tremendous shift in my way of feeling, thinking, accepting and viewing life.

I adopted this mantra in my life. Whatever the situation I faced, I started reciting this mantra 'THANK YOU LORD FOR EVERYTHING'. It helped me to shift my view from what i did not have to what i have in my life.

Similarly, i started using this mantra in my relationship, finance, love life, social life, business, with friends, maids, colleagues and everything with which I can relate. I shared this story with my spouse and children too which brought a great shift in their behaviour.

 This simple mantra really had a deep impact in my life, i started feeling how blessed I am, how happy I am, how good life is....

The purpose of sharing this message is to make all of us aware of how powerful  the power of gratitude is. It can reshape our life.

 A simple word, a simple thought, which teaches us to be grateful for everything we have in our life has power to dissolve the karmic baggage which we are carrying from so many life times. Lets recite this mantra continuously to experience the shift in our life.

I end this article with the beautiful lines:

Be grateful, and see the change in your attitude.
Be humble, and you will never stumble.
 Have a wonderful day

INSIGHT ON HOW TO WRITE ‘CURRICULUM VITAE’ A ‘Curriculum Vitae’ ( CV) is an official document that contains the profile, educational and career background of an individual.

THE DIFFERENT STAGES IN MARRIAGE S pecially for you!!! 1. THE AMAZEMENT/EUPHORIC STAGE  This is the "wow" stage. Lots of new things to discover with your spouse.

Being in control of your kitchen, feeding him and lots more. It's the honeymoon stage and it's so so beautiful. 2.
