Grateful to be alive, not only for today, but for each and everyday because life itself is our greatest gift.
Being grateful for life occurs naturally as does love when there’s an understanding of what’s needed to live from the heart. Although love is natural it’s not automatic so cultivating love is when life results in gratitude.
Gratitude naturally arises from a loving heart. It isn’t produced by attaching to anything from the materiel realm. If gratitude was from the material realm it would coincide with one’s possessions and that would make a person of wealth more grateful than one who didn’t have many. The true measure of a wealthy life has nothing to do with possessions, true wealth arises from a loving heart, that’s the measure of wealth. You can only be grateful when there’s contentment with life as it is, not with the way you wish it was or how it’s wanted or expected.
Gratitude won’t shield you from problems, but it will allow you to not create them. Be grateful for your given life and you will find your loving heart, and when life is lived from a loving heart there will be harmony with yourself and with all beings. When this occurs you can’t help but to have an attitude that’s full of gratitude for life as it is, not because of what you possess, but because of the natural love that arises from your heart…
