The choice is ours, in every moment.

Gratitude is the realization that we have everything we need, at least in this moment.

We hold on so tightly that our hands are unavailable to reach out for the happiness we could gain by letting go.

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.

... the major rule in the American belief system - that anyone can do anything ... is a lie that we have perpetuated, and it fosters mediocrity. Knowing what you're good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.

Gratitude connects us to others and feeling gratitude allows us to be our best selves. When we are truly grateful, we can count on living the life we want

At each level of gratitude our soul's capacity deepens, starting with contentment to meaningfulness, and finally, to pure joy.
