How would you like a friend or loved one talking to you only when they needed something? That’s kind of how most use prayer or meditation. Since there is ALWAYS something for which to be grateful, how about praying or meditating on that?

Gratitude for what we have instead of regret for what we don’t is one of the most effective ways of neutralizing bad attitudes and negative emotions.

In case you forgot, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for.

When we don’t have money, we’re sure having it will solve all our problems. When we don’t have a relationship, we’re sure being in one will make us whole. When we don’t have our health, we’re sure being healthy will make us happy. We’re so sure about what we don’t have. What would happen if we were so sure about what we did have? Try it…it’s called gratitude.

All anyone really wants is to feel appreciated. So if you want to create real, long-lasting relationships, do that.

It’s okay to glance at the light of another. But when you stare to long, it will blind you from seeing your own.

Praying without gratitude, first, is more like complaining.
