Gratitude is a dynamic force in our world. In an instant, it can shift an emotion a thought. It can recall the power of joy from the past, ignite relaxation in the present, and inspiration and optimism about the future. It’s a force because it stimulates peace, love, happiness, and openness from within and can have quick and lasting effects.
Gratitude is an amplifier. If you take a moment and shift your focus to someone or something you are grateful for right now, there’s no doubt in my heart that you will feel moved.
Now, why this topic? Because we are seeking one of two things; greater connection beyond ourselves or greater control of our destiny. Big topics with many layers, yet to experience either gratitude is the starting line.
To practice gratitude is not only powerful, it is the gold standard for transformation. The Sages and the Scientists agree; gratitude is a cornerstone to happiness.
If you are feeling off, unsteady, awkward, at a loss for words, in need of energy, inspiration, motivation, and connection… lock into your gratitude.
Don’t be shy. Be grateful beyond measure. Keeping a journal is always lovely, but let the writing go, drop your chin, acknowledge your heart, soften your eyes, smile inward, take some deep breaths, and make the call to gratitude this week.
To you and your outstanding communities,
Heather
