Default Gratitude for what you have, To have a lot more!

It seemed to me a lot of years that having gratitude in all of my areas of success will stop my growth and sabotage my success, Really, unlike the surface reasoning having gratitude is one of the most important feeling one can cultivate

For example when you have a gratitude you have the abundance mindset that attract people and respect, if not, your scarcity mindset will be a self fulfiller Prophecy, worse - it will pour the illusion all on you that you work hard to make things better.

Another reason, is you are feeling good when you live with a gratitude mindset, you are not resist the existing reality to have a better reality, your focus is on the enjoyment of the good things of your life, it's harness the law of attraction, and derives better quality results.
Even if you not believe in the law of attraction you just can sense the good feeling you have when you gratitude for your way of life.

Living with gratitude means what?
Sure, it means that you are no longer feel bad about the better things you want to have or improve in your life that you don't have or that's your weakness. because you are no longer focus about them.
you think on your past, present and future with understanding! and feeling! that you are at prosperity and gratitude.
Having gratitude is a muscle you need to improve and learn how to work with, one way to improve your gratitude is to know that there is people in the world that suffer daily, they don't have your your privilegein there 3rd world country, or poor people that their focus is only about servival, some people have disease that make them believe 100% that health is the most important and need to be focused daily area. Maybe people that some uncontrol factor took from them all there dream, like a death of a partner and kids that left with only you that you need to take care of, it can happon to all of us.
now think on your life and ask: "does god really appreciate you not appreciating your life and prosperity that he gave you? or does he appreciate you appreciating your life no matter what?"

So I live with gratitude, Maybe it means that I can't grow now or have a slow grow ?
if you think like this and have no strategy you are right live with gratitude won't probably give you the explosive growth, but, you are also wrong because not living with gratitude will defenitely lower your chance to have an explosive growth it preffer even to have a gratitue.

One Strategy:
Everything that make logic for you to live with gratitude and have an explosive growth that not envolve less gratitude,
Truth is you have to find a way have an explosive growth out from passion and joy, not from feeling absurd and bad to make a change. you not need to get to the buttom to change and grow, if you do it your life will be series of pain events, climbing up from where you are is a lot faster easier and happier from getting to the buttom to step up.
My strategy is that I know that something that not grow - die. it's have proofs all over the biologic world, every skill, every emotion. that way I can feel gratitude in my life and understand that with it I have obligations like Growth!
Obligation is something that motivate you without the need to feel immediate pain, but sure that in the back of your mind you know that if you don't follow through in your obligation you will get tons of pain, and in this case it won't be because your life don't have an abundance BUT you don't manage to stay with your obligation and suffer the consequence (process of death in some parts of you).

remember: Obligations is the right way to grow - NOT PAIN !!
reason: not following throug have negative consequence the pain is in the back of your mind ready to reveal himself if you being bad

Your means to have a growth:
Maybe before you figured that present pain is the right way to grow, now you know that his suitable place is in the back of your mind.
Your means to have an explosive growth have to be positive, for example: passion.

Way to assimilate this:
Part1:
Every time you feeling bad about your current way of life or Some area of your life:
Have gratitude [this is for the feeling good part]
Part2:
know your obligations (i.e - what doesn't grow - die) and your means (i.e - passion). [This is for the explosive growth part]
