The mind is a tool. a machine moved by spiritual fire -Fyodor Dostoyevsky
How many of us have asked that question over our lifetime?
I know in the past I have. It takes a world of experiences both good and bad.
Have you ever thought how small the chances are that you would be born?
If just one thing in history had changed.
If one of your ancestors hadn’t crossed paths the moment they did, then you wouldn’t exist.
You’d never even have lived a single day. If we are honest with ourselves it all comes down to chance.
Its up to us to take those chances, to make the most out of every single opportunity that comes our way.
Gratitude doesn’t have to be saved for the “big” things in life.
The habit of being grateful starts with appreciating every good thing about yourself and in life generally by recognising that there is nothing too small that you can’t be too thankful for enough… everything is a miracle. The good times as well as the challenging times.
When we stop to think about what we don’t like about ourselves and begin to have gratitude for being blessed to even be alive, we look into ourselves and see the miracle and beauty of life and all the little things that make it all worth the while.
