On Gratitude

The important thing about gratitude is that it doesn’t matter how much you have. Gratitude is not dependent on whether it is a big car or a little car. Gratitude is not conditional or dependent on any of that. It can be a pebble that we see and we feel such gratitude for the joy that it brings us in that moment. So always remember that it doesn’t matter how much we have, that gratitude is a place that we go to that’s independent of size or monetary value. It is something that we simply feel from our heart. When you look at gratitude as a daily practice this is how you use it. Generally, during the day, you can be saying to yourself how often have I focused on gratitude? As compared to how often have I focused on worries? And that’s a very sobering question. I often ask myself,” Where has my focus been? Where has my attention been?” Because what we focus on expands. So it is very interesting for me if I’m aware that my focus has been more on a worry than it has on gratitude. So that’s one thing that you can do, that’s one practice that you can begin to do throughout the day.
