When you adopt one of the miracle attitudes, you get to feel
fulfilled regardless of what is happening around you. Even extreme misfortune is no match for the
miracle attitudes.
This cannot be said for ordinary positive attitudes. Another huge bonus of the miracle attitudes
is that they are interchangeable. You can move back and forth among them to
discover which is most fitting for whichever situation.
What are these miracle attitudes?
Gratitude
I am grateful-miracle-attitude-gratitude Regardless of your
external situation, even if very unfortunate, you can always find something to
be grateful for. Why is this true? Because there is always a worse scenario
than the one you are in, if you are still alive.
Gratitude for what you have, or how lucky you are, is an
instant cure for a bad mood. As soon as you realize you can be grateful, your
spirits lift and you begin to see life differently. Again, there is rarely, if
ever, a circumstance when gratitude is not an option.
Compassion
I can’t think of one situation that compassion would not
improve. In fact, compassion may be the universal salve. And it is always
available.
Even Victor Frankl, who lost his entire family to the Nazis
and endured years of torture in a concentration camp, found compassion in the
midst of his darkest days. In fact, he refused to judge his captors, the
murderers of his family, and found freedom and strength in his compassion for
them.
Hope
Hope is a special attitude because you can muster hope
regardless of external circumstances and hope is its own reward. You can lack
faith, lack belief and lack all evidence, but hold onto hope.
Hope is not useful merely when the odds are against you,
however. You can fill yourself with hope that things will turn out for the best
in every situation. Doing so will put you in the right mental state to
guarantee greater fulfillment. The
arch-enemy of the miracle attitudes is self-sabotage. Self-sabotage steers you
in the opposite direction of happiness and would have you choose the least
healthy option.miracle-attitudes-positive-mindset-gratitude-hope
