Heart of Gratitude

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

Having a heart of gratitude 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 heart of gratitude.

A heart of gratitude naturally arises from a loving heart. It isn’t produced by attaching to anything from the materiel realm. If having gratitude was from the material realm, it would coincide with one’s possessions. That would mean a person of wealth would have more gratitude than a person who didn’t have any. The true measure of a wealthy life has nothing to do with possessions. True wealth arises from a heart of gratitude, that’s the true measurement 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.

Having a heart of gratitude won’t shield you from problems, but it will allow you to not create them. Have gratitude for your given life and you will find your heart of gratitude. When life is lived from a heart of gratitude 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 heart of gratitude…
