Gratitude is an Attitude You Can Define

For every opportunity there is to complain, 

hold a grudge,

or judge without knowing the whole story, 

there is an equal opportunity to

let go, adapt and expand.

Be grateful for experiences that can 

strengthen your wisdom and empathy,

and help you grow in grace, joy and hope. 

You are the best possible person to be you – no need to imitate or compare yourself to others or judge their life’s journey.

Be grateful to be alive and to able to try your best another day.

  1. Listen to others’ words, but pay attention to their actions.
  2. Notice silence, for that speaks volumes, too. 
  3. Trust yourself. Your heart knows.
  4. Love others without condition and let them grow into their best selves.
  5. Energy is real. Surround yourself with positive vibes.
  6. Be a bearer of truth, delivered with kindness and acceptance.
  7. Be a receiver of truth, honored with humility and gratitude.
