Gratitude robber #2 is the same as blog stopper #1. Both are selfishness. Selfishness causes you to think you deserve things and as a result you aren't grateful for them. Selfishness causes you to have your priorities out of order. Writing a blog becomes a chore you don't want to stop and do. At least that is the case for me.
My wonderful husband and I were discussing my negative attitude toward my two adult daughters. I realized that my expectations are getting in the way of my gratefulness. I need to concentrate on what they and others do for me instead of what they don't do. It's so easy to focus on what we think we need from others than to pay attention to what they give us.
The best cure for selfishness is focus on the needs of others. The most important thing to remember is that we should do all things with a willing heart of love. That said my sweet little boy needs me to focus on him for awhile. LOL! Have a good night!
