To come to terms with our beginning requires a truthful story to acquire the skills to live in gratitude rather than resentment for the gift of life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We acknowledge but one motive - to follow the truth as we know it, whithersoever it may lead us; but in our heart of hearts we are well assured that the truth which has made us free, will in the end make us glad also.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
Emotionally, in our minds, we get so filled with resentments where we've got a story about absolutely everything.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
But human beings fall easily into despair, and from the very beginning we invented stories that enabled us to place our lives in a larger setting, that revealed an underlying pattern, and gave us a sense that, against all the depressing and chaotic evidence to the contrary, life had meaning and value.
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.
It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.
Feeling gratitude isn't born in us - it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.
Gratitude is a burden, and every burden is made to be shaken off.
