The power of giving thanks is enormous. Once you have decided you want a better life, begin to give thanks for everything. Begin a habit of giving thanks every morning and throughout your day. Soon you will see how powerful a simple thing like gratitude can be.
To get what you want in life, you must appreciate and give thanks for what you have. You cannot expect a better life if you are not appreciative of the life you have been given. Do not complain about your current situation. Experience the power of giving thanks for everything you have.

Learning About The Power Of Giving Thanks
I have two daughters who are about to graduate from college or “Uni,” as it is referred to in other countries. I like the term “Uni” and wish we used it here. Anyway, my oldest daughter attends the University of Central Florida and will graduate in December. My youngest attends the University of Alabama and will graduate next May.
Both daughters need new cars. My oldest is driving the car we bought her when she was in high school. My youngest is driving one of my hand-me-downs. They both describe their cars as junk and POS. I have told them that is the wrong way to go about the situation. They will not get a better car if they are not thankful for the car that they have.
Give Thanks
Be thankful always. No matter what your situation. You will not change it by complaining. If you don’t live in the nicest house, give thanks. You have a roof over your head. If you are drowning in debt, give thanks. There are ways to pay off debt.
I begin each morning tapping into the power of giving thanks. When I wake up, I say I am thankful for yesterday. No matter if it was a good day or a bad day. I am thankful for today and the possibilities a new day brings. I then begin every morning writing 10 things I am thankful for in a gratitude pad.

A Rough Patch
No matter what your current situation is, give thanks because you are blessed. You are here and have the opportunity to change your situation. As you learn to give thanks, you will be blessed, and your situation will change.
Back in February, I went through a rough patch. I began experiencing many negative things happening in my life. I have written about them in previous blogs. Despite all the bad things that were happening, I gave thanks. I knew that it was just another challenge that God or the universe was putting me through.
Now I am being blessed far above the turmoil that I went through. I continued to be grateful for my situation and think positive thoughts. I changed my circumstances through the power of giving thanks and was rewarded.
Ask God
What circumstances are you going through? Find peace in knowing you can improve your situation. Give thanks for your present life and everything that you have. Ask God or the universe for whatever you want. Believe it will happen. See the life that you want in your mind as real. Feel what it will be like living that life. Continue to do this every day until you develop faith.
Will it be easy? No. You will have to conquer the fears and doubts that come along with change. You must develop patience and persevere to overcome. Patience is a virtue. With patience and perseverance comes faith. Faith defeats all fears and doubts. Once you have faith you will understand the power of giving thanks.
