Grateful Heart

Be grateful that you’re alive, not only for today, but for each and everyday because a grateful heart is the greatest gift of life…

Being grateful for life occurs naturally as does love when there’s an understanding of what’s needed to live from the heart. Although love is natural, it’s not automatic so cultivating love is when life results in a grateful heart.

Being grateful naturally arises from a loving heart. It isn’t produced by attaching to anything from the materiel realm. If being grateful was from the material realm it would coincide with one’s possessions. That would make a person of wealth more grateful than one who didn’t have any. The true measure of a wealthy life has nothing to do with possessions, true wealth arises from a grateful heart, that’s the measure of wealth. You can only be grateful when there’s contentment with life as it is, not with the way you wish it was or how it’s wanted or expected.

Being grateful won’t shield you from problems, but it will allow you to not create them. Be grateful for your given life and you will find your grateful heart. When life is lived from a grateful heart there will be harmony with yourself and with all beings. When this occurs you can’t help but to have an attitude that’s full of gratitude. Not because of what you possess, but because of the natural love that arises from your grateful heart…
