Psychology behind gratitude
To fully appreciate something for what
it is and not for what it should be is gratitude. Having an attitude of
gratitude is the result of having a balanced life.
Too many people are consistently
taking the easy road of life and not forcing themselves to be comfortable with
being uncomfortable. By doing so, it is impossible to be fully grateful.
To have the ability to fully
appreciate something only comes from have a clear understanding of its
opposite. For example, for each gender to fully appreciate himself/herself,
he/she must completely understand their opposite gender.
People tend to love the choices they
make in life because they understand the advantages and disadvantages of making
other choices. From this understanding, people that love their choices have
decided to fully embrace both the good and bad outcomes resulting from their
decision. This ability to embrace good and bad outcomes comes with having an
attitude of gratitude because you are accepting something for what it is and
not for what it should be.
Only accepting things for their good
outcomes means rejecting things for their bad outcomes. By doing so, you can’t
fully accept it. Thus, you can’t have gratitude.
