Take a deep breath and think of the three things you are grateful for, right in this moment.

I learned that you don't have to be saddled for life with the mental attitudes you adopted in early childhood. All of us are free to change our minds, and as we change our minds, our experiences will also change.

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.

We can't wait until everything is OK-with us or with the rest of the world-to feel thankful, or we will never experience joy at all.

Take a deep breath and think of the three things you are grateful for, right in this moment.

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

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