Dovid Lowy- "Meetings" Gratitude In Our Relationships

hi deborah loewy here and welcome back to another episode of meetings where we discuss torah topics to help us grow last episode we left off with an exercise an exercise in building an attitude of gratitude and that's where it all begins but this week i'd like to move on to gratitude within relationships revolvey says an amazing idea he says a relationship that has gratitude has love and what's scary is that a relationship that doesn't have gratitude he says can lead to hatred those are scary words he says let me explain it's just human nature the people that are constantly around you they have negative traits just like anybody else just like me and you and everyone else and people have bad days and those negative traits come out but human nature is such for whatever reason that when we see negative traits in other people our mind just focuses on them and if we're not constantly also feeding our mind with the good that they have and appreciation and expressing that to them the relationship will just spoil it doesn't matter he says how good the relationship started out it's just it's just science if there's not gratitude within the equation forget it and so therefore the exercise for this week could be simple or it could be very difficult you see if you're used to expressing gratitude to your friend your spouse your children your parents your employee your employer whoever it is that's around you then you'll naturally keep on doing it and you'll naturally have good relationships all around you but if you find it to be difficult to express gratitude to other people then it's that much more critical than you work on this exercise and try to take this week every day and express gratitude to someone around you whoever it may be i thank you for joining me and i look forward to seeing you next time
