Gratitude has been described as the "great attitude." Although most people tend to take their lives for granted, life is in fact a gift, and every day that you are alive you receive many blessings. Even times of pain and adversity can be seen as opportunities for growth for which you can be grateful. By committing yourself to becoming more aware of your blessings, you strengthen your connection with the Spirit and are better able to recognize the wisdom and intelligence that underlies all of creation. Once you allow yourself to appreciate the lessons presented during times of struggle or life crises, the brunt of the pain subsides and a state of inner peace follows.
Take a few minutes each day to list everything you are grateful for!
