The Light of Gratitude. . .
Thankfulness is just one way of bringing attention to our moments and ultimately our lives.
Adopting a mindset of gratitude allows us to take our minds off ourselves and our selfish desires. When we take on this mindset, we become thankful for the many things pouring through our lives by the hands of others, and of course our own efforts.
Living life in thankfulness is a choice. Even if not every situation in our lives is favorable, we can still be thankful for the difficult times because they mature us into better people. When we are thankful, we are kind to others, and we treat them in the same manner as we would like to be treated.
Knowing that with the right mindset and attitude, we can count it as experience and a growth moment, regardless of the circumstance we face, we begin to see and appreciate our resilience and grace. We become thankful.
Thankfulness is also contagious. The more we show gratitude and express our thankfulness to others, they will catch that contagion and be more thankful themselves.
Whatever moments we are handed, with the right mindset and a little gratitude, we can shift from feeling beaten down to rising up in our moments and illuminating the shadows casts from ever shifting times. We no longer seek the light but become it.
Peace and Love, Jim
