1. MY LEARNING EXPERIENCE:
I had that "AHHA" moment was when i learned about gratitude,to count my blessings,the significance of the words "Thank you" when i read the book called The Magic. Being grateful has taught me to stay positive in all situation i come across by just exercising gratitude on all that has worked out for me or i have been blessed with. I have learned that if i am grateful it set into motion to bring more things to be grateful for.
I have also learned that most successful men and woman who have made it to the books of history were grateful people who exercised it. To mention a few the likes of Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Einstein and Buddha who wants said " You have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy"
Learned that the universe operates by the law of attraction, what you send out or give out you will, surely attract, like attract like, this can be through your thoughts, what you say ( negative/ positive). I was deeply moved by this knowledge and it has changed my life completely. At first i shared this insight with my close friend and now with everyone i have a meaningful conversation with. I am a more happier person and my perspective has changed, now i can say i am really grateful person.
