To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude
means to take nothing for granted,
but to always seek out and value
the kind that will stand behind the action.
Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course.
Everything originates in a will for the good,
which is directed at you.
Train yourself never to put off
the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
~Albert Schweitzer
Life has many lessons does it not? You are learning with every step you take, every action made. You have much success and sometimes so it seems, more failure, but failure is only a learning point if you think of it in that manner.
Take nothing for granted, not the family pet, not the morning coffee, not the love of your family. Nothing should be taken for granted. Everything has meaning for good, it is only how we allow are perception to take hold that makes it bad, and only in our mind.
Always seek value in everything that passes through your life and guess what you will always find value, you will always find good, even in the mundane things that seem to come to us.
Nothing is truly mundan, our thoughts make it so.
Train yourself, teach yourself that an attitude of gratitude is your new small still voice inside. That life, is great, that love is not just a noun but a verb that demands action by you and for others.
Love everything that has been presented. Not the kind of love that is taken for granted but a love that appreciates the simple and acknowledges its purpose.
None of those material possessions do anything
to make your life any better....
I know a lot of people who have
a lot of everything, and they're absolutely
the most miserable people in the world.
So it won't do anything for you
unless you're a happy person
and can have peace with yourself.
~Lenny Kravitz
Things are just that... things. They attach themselves to no one, they just exist as tools to aid and help make our life easier. But when we start to look at our things, our possessions as extensions to our self or worth we now let them define or effect our happiness.
Never allow anything to define your worth, not anything, never let even a mate define your standard of worth. But to allow your money, or your possessions is sure destruction to the esteem we carry each day.
Be at peace with yourself, be happy with yourself and the value you come across everyday in some of the smallest of places.
Enjoy life.
Live life.
Dream.
Pray
Love
Not just today.... but everyday......start today, and then continue on your journey of gratitude and acceptance.
