The art of finding abundance in what already exists

A good life is not a life without problems. A good life is a life with good problems.

What separates privilege from entitlement is gratitude.

The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it.

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.

Silent gratitude isn't very much use to anyone.

Gratitude is the music of the heart, when its chords are swept by the breeze of kindness.

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

Gratitude is the sweetest thing in a seeker's life - in all human life. If there is gratitude in your heart, then there will be tremendous sweetness in your eyes.

When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.
