Gratitude Brings Self Awareness

Spirit ConnectionOctober 2, 20230

We hear every day people talking about living a life of gratitude. Some people may think that they have nothing to be grateful for. Others may feel that what they’ve worked for doesn’t require of them that they show gratitude.

Today’s message is so much more around being self aware, and living your life in deep gratitude, makes you so much more self aware. How? I hear you ask.

Feeling gratitude, displaying gratitude in your actions, is quite different to just being grateful. When you feel gratitude, it requires of you that you seek at least some degree of self-awareness. So what exactly is self-awareness? It’s that knowing yourself and understanding yourself. How you show up in the world. How you treat yourself and others. Particularly how you are able to acknowledge when you’ve made a mistake and also see how that mistake has affected someone else. It’s that innate ability to rectify what you’ve done and feel regret, apologise and correct the behaviours.

Being self aware requires that you acknowledge that there are things about yourself that need changing, that need work, in order to make you a much better human being. And when you can acknowledge these things about yourself, you somehow are just more able to live a life of gratitude. Gratitude for the people in your life. How they show up and how they make you a better person. Or how they make you want to be a better person. Feeling gratitude that you have a warm place to sleep, a roof over your head and food in your belly when you go to bed at night.

These feelings of gratitude don’t happen when you are not self aware. They don’t happen, because when you aren’t self aware, you live your life only for yourself. You only care about what is happening in your world. It’s about having narcissistic tendencies, self absorbed and unaware.

Self-awareness requires that you are brutally honest with yourself at all times. It’s definitely not about making excuses and laying blame at the other person’s door. It’s not about sweeping things under the carpet, hoping that if we ignore them long enough, they’ll go away. It’s about stepping up to the plate of your own life. It’s about acknowledging that you aren’t perfect, that you make mistakes and that sometimes those mistakes affect other people. It’s also around acknowledging the great things about yourself and then capitalizing on those amazing traits about yourself. Remember there’s always two sides. Dr. Phil always says that no matter how flatten a pancake, there is always two sides. I love that!

Live your life with purpose, and self-awareness will become a natural part of you. Be kind to everyone you meet. Through self-awareness you will notice when you’re being unkind, disingenuous, cruel or judging. And that self-awareness, will give you the opportunity to set things right immediately. Oh man, what a difference it will make in your life! And how much more will you have to be grateful for?!
