With practice, he says that focusing becomes more natural, and one will automatically focus when “seeing something beautiful in nature or in another person,” (p. 130). My top strength was appreciation of beauty and excellence which means that I might not need as much willful focusing practice as other people! Emmons and McCullough (2004) discuss gratitude and the moral functions it possesses (p. 145). Gratitude was not in the top 10 of my characteristics, but it is definitely something I want to work on.

What does it mean to be grateful? Why do we need to be grateful? As a Christian why is it important to be grateful? Based on what we have done for the past week, which is writing down what we were grateful each day, I have learned to look at life a little differently. Gratitude is not just an expression.

The great President John F. Kennedy once said, “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” (Goodreads, 1963). Gratitude is about giving recognition to another for the development and qualities that he or she has imparted on you. Adam Grant discusses the importance of showing gratitude, in particular, to the people that have made a large impact on one’s life. For example, he mentions in the video Always Wear Dark Suits, how teachers that fell that they are making an impact in someone’s life have less of a burnout rate as compared to those who do not (Grant, 2016).

The Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude plays out similar to the Law of Cause and Effect or the natural principle of action and reaction. As we look at the law itself, when we express thankfulness to the God Force for that which we have “received” (even though it is still in the unseen), it is an expenditure of force, therefore our gratitude cannot fail to reach God, and when it does the reaction is an instantaneous move toward you. Consider two properly aligned magnets. They are two forces moving in opposite directions while moving toward one another. Gratitude draws you and the Creative Force, God, directly toward each other. If our gratitude is strong enough and consistent then there will always be a move of that which we are co-creating toward us. When the God Force moves toward us it brings all that it is. The Law of Gratitude also dictates that if our heart is not full of gratitude, then something else will take its place. Physics teaches that nature will not tolerate a vacuum. That is to say that if something is removed then something else must take its place. If our hearts are not filled with gratitude, then our hearts will be filled with ungratefulness. An ungrateful heart will take you from what you want as rapidly as a grateful heart will take you toward what you want. The Law of Gratitude nourishes our faith, because as a grateful heart and mind continually expects good things, expectation becomes faith. This faith then, becomes both the cornerstone and the capstone of what it is we are building which comes only from our Universal Supplier, God. Gratitude toward God has the power
