Power One:

Appreciation

Power Affirmation

To appreciate each and every aspect of living is to be grateful for an abundant life.

Power Quote

When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect towards others. — Dalai Lama

Purely and simply, the Power of Appreciation is Love! When looking at this power as a form of thanks- giving and gratitude-sharing, we can see how basic expressions of it take place in our families, in our communities, in our livelihoods, and so much more. But what of appreciation that is emotionally personified (finite realized) and spiritually sanctioned (infinite opportunity)? To have the awareness that mortal life consists of some variable combination of the two is to understand that when we deeply appreciate, we are practicing to love purely. Thus, any show of appreciation is a joint human and spiritual expression of love ... no matter to what degree!

The catalyst of all good things mortal must be grounded in the living of a contented and appreciative life – but how? Imagine having the willful ability to look at the world with the wonder and innocence of an inquisitive child. This curious child-being is us at any age, and at any point during our human travels. A young child can genuinely demonstrate appreciation because outside judgments have yet to influence the mind and generational stigmas have yet to be taught. So as we age and if we are open, forks in our road (transformational turning points) build experience that in turn pave the way to strongly appreciate the more subtle aspects of life.

To invite the remembrance of our long-ago childlike innocence is to return to a place when we were closest to our Creator!

The process of rediscovering our innocence is the practice of us awakening into this space-time reality with the realization that deep appreciation was a previously learned attribute. The sooner this realization occurs, the more likely such a persona will enjoy happiness all the days of their mortal life. Such a positive and lighthearted soul knows something more and is equipped with a sort of multi-dimensional awareness. Therefore, a student in one dimensional reality then becomes a teacher in another! Such a unique being would possess the spiritual consciousness that this physical life is a gift of abundant opportunities fed by the living of deep appreciation ... and this amazing existence then
