An attitude of gratitude

Gratitude for the present moment helps towards unconditional peacefulness and satisfaction. If you are happy now before you get into a relationship, a relationship is a bonus. A relationship or whatever you want are not a condition to make you happy. They might make you happier!

Adopt a attitude of gratitude in the present moment for anything that comes your way. An attitude of gratitude can help you along the path of life , to cultivate satisfaction.

All you need are these: certainty of judgment in the present moment; action for the common good in the present moment; and an attitude of gratitude in the present moment for anything that comes your way.” Marcus Aurelius

Manage the attitude of conditional happiness. It is not a relationship or a situation change that will bring joy or a state of peacefulness and satisfaction. It is an attitude of gratitude. In your relationship be grateful and notice what is working.

It is easier for a partner to listen to someone who also shows appreciation. Balance is key.

When you feel rejected, practice gratitude for those who are present in your life. There are many.

When you notice the negatives of something, right on the opposite are positives.

When something unwanted happens, notice and practice gratefulness for still being alive first. Then parent yourself.

Avoid the habit of waiting for something to change to be happy, a next level. It might not arrive. Life is lived in the present moment. All you have is now.

Do not wait for conditions to change in order to be happy.

Your happiness is not dependent on conditions. Whether it happens or it does not, reassure yourself that you will be OK.

In any situation, notice what you still have. Appreciate beauty and what is working.

So much of nature , of man made structures, of what you have and your body to appreciate.

If you are grateful for little, you will be easily grateful for more. If you are grateful before you get it, when it comes, it will simply be a bonus.If you have an attitude of gratitude, achieving your goals or getting that relationship is simply a bonus.
