Gratitude is like a flashlight. It lights up what is already there. You don't necessarily have anything more or different, but suddenly you can actually see what it is. And because you can see, you no longer take it for granted.

Gratitude is a feeling of fullness, a recognition of the heart of what we are receiving in this moment.

In the moments we are awake to the wonder of simply being alive, gratitude flows, no matter our circumstances.

Patience is no small, fell-good personal quality. It is at the heart of diplomacy and civility, lawfulness and civil order. Without it, people can't work together and society can't function at all. With it, we create the possibility of peace between people and between nations.

Whenever we are appreciative, we are filled with a sense of well-being and swept up by the feeling of joy.

The choice is ours, in every moment.

Eating healthy and exercising won't help you if it's only temporary.
