Itadakimasu “to receive and consume a life”
Filed under: law of attraction, life lessons
Itadakimasu literally translated means “to receive and consume a life” and is customarily spoken before eating. [Note: This was the only video I could find where its actually pronounced properly]
Eating a meal may be a simple, every day process, but I believe that the more we are able to appreciate life’s simplest things, the more fulfilled we become.
Itadakimasu is a statement of gratitude, spoken to show respect for the provider and also to the food itself.
As I researched deeper into the meaning I was reminded of the need to show gratitude. Not just for the food eaten each day, but for the people, work, roof over our head and the shirt on our back.
Its easy to get caught up in our days and forget all of the work and the people involved in the creation of our possessions.
Make it a practice to say ‘thank you, I will receive’.
Say it out load each morning as you greet the day.
Say it because you mean it. Say it with love.
