Gratitude is considered to be the mother of all virtues and plays a great role in improving one’s life. Does it play a major role in Personal Finance? My answer is an unqualified ‘Yes’ and many experts opine that gratitude is extremely important in one’s ‘Path to Prosperity’. I have never tried to understand how and why gratitude works in one’s Personal Finance but I am glad that it works.
Expressing gratitude is so simple but many, for some reasons, don’t utilise this powerful tool. Let us discuss how to demonstrate gratitude in every day financial transactions. Here are a few examples:
- Supposing you receive a small amount of dividend, you may have a tendency to ignore it and not even deposit the cheque. On the other hand, receiving any amount, small or big, with gratitude, sends the right signal to Universe. The Universe does not understand small or big but understands your response and when you are grateful, you send a positive vibration to the Universe.
- Many people seem to have a lot of negative feelings while paying telephone bills or electricity bills. Paying the bills with cribbing amounts to a scarcity mentality and the person will repel prosperity. On the other hand, when you pay the bills with gratitude, you are exhibiting an abundance mentality and that will attract prosperity.
- You may come across a few people, who in terms of academics were far behind you but in terms of prosperity are far ahead of you. You may find it difficult to accept this reality of life. Accepting this reality with grace and blessing such people and their wealth is the right way. More importantly being grateful to the existence for your current level of wealth, without any comparison, will attract better success and prosperity.
It is possible that some of you may not agree with these thoughts, but that is your choice. I owe this piece of knowledge to Mr. Suresh Padmanabhan, my Money and Prosperity mentor. I know many people who have improved their Personal Finance using gratitude, the most powerful but the least expensive tool. Let me express my sincere gratitude to my mentor for making me realise the importance of this wonderful virtue!
