Reflections

“Grateful living: an alchemic operation of converting “disgraceful” things into grateful events.

“No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from the kingdom of night.

“In gratitude for your own good fortune you must render in return some sacrifice of your life for other life.

“If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for.

“Joy is the simplest form of gratitude.

“The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude .

“When you no longer have expectations, the unexpected kindness of others and small acts of consideration become like “sweet manna from heaven.

“Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.

“Gratitude for the present moment and the fullness of life now is the true prosperity.

“When we release expectation and experience appreciation, all the moments of our lives become openings and opportunities.
