Daily Question, May 27

What happens when I express my gratitude rather than simply feel it?

  • KC

    A moment of rootedness and connection.

  • Anita

    It expands. ❤️

  • Amor fati

    Both quality and quantity of gratitude increases. People are hungry for meaning, to know they are of use. Thanking people reminds them they are not alone. Expressed gratitude for the world’s beauty or God’s grace is an invitation to return–for however briefly– into the awe and wonder of childhood.

    Thought is energy, words, too, are an energy. They potentate, perhaps even exponentially. As Michael pointed out, then “a new albeit short lived community is formed. ” If we continued to think and express gratitude, perhaps the community and communion would be longer and become permanent.

  • Michael

    it spreads the energy!! it draws people to you!! it is like a light!! in a way, it also helps keep me accountable as I aspire to live the life of gratitude…not simply feel it.

  • Michael

    A smile is most often reciprocated by those who walk in mindful awareness and a new, albeit small and short-lived community is formed:????.

  • Kevin

    It has been my experience that whenever I verbally express my gratitude and sense of joy at a given moment and naming the source, that others around me do the same. “Look at that beautiful sunrise!” Or, “Did you hear that sweet sound? What kind of bird was it?” Before I know it, others within the sound of my voice become part of gratitude expressed.

  • Christina

    I enjoy complimenting people on how they look and what they wear. I believe when I express essentially “Thank you for bringing a little more beauty into the world,” I brighten their and my days.

  • Lioness

    It creates links and bonds between people and the universe, making us all a little stronger for all.

  • Antoinette

    The universe responds to me when I’m clear minded and full of positive energy.
    Expressing and feeling gratitude is essential. An attitude of gratitude brings unity in life.
