Gratitude is an emotion of connectedness, which reminds us we are part of a larger universe with all living things.
So, today I wanted to share 10 of my favorite quotes about gratitude:
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
~Melodie Beattie
“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.”
~Denis Waitley
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
~Cicero
“The more gratefully we fix our minds on the Supreme when
good things come to us, the more good things we will receive,
and the more rapidly they will come; and the reason simply
is that the mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into
closer touch with the source from which the blessings come”
~Wallace D Wattles
“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust
“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” – Thornton Wilder
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~ John F. Kennedy
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” ~ Albert Schweitzer
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”– Oprah Winfrey
“God gave you a gift of 84,600 seconds today. Have you used one to say ‘thank you’ ?” ~William Arthur Ward
