Expectation has brought me disappointment. Disappointment has brought me wisdom. Acceptance, gratitude and appreciation have brought me joy and fulfilment.

There is nothing you lack and all you will find; we are one at the heart - just divided by mind. Don't let life pass you by.

In life one has a choice to take one of two paths: to wait for some special day - or to celebrate each special day.

By simple mathematics giving is key to the world you seek to live in. If I take I alone gain. If I give or share then two at least are enriched.

The moment that you give gratitude is the moment that you find happiness. The moment that you lose gratitude your happiness will vanish and slip through your fingers

Gratitude is the best food and fuel to start anything that you need to do - it will nourish and sustain you...and others too. Hankering will leave you hungry - or with with heart, head or belly ache - and tends to have or leave a sour or bitter taste too.

Appreciation: When it blossoms in you, "Appreciation" is a deep gratitude that becomes a food, a fuel. It means that you start each day not hankering but full. It will be the earth supports you, the light that warms you and emanates from you and the wisdom and kindness that flows through you into all you do.  

Gratitude is the best food and fuel to start the day for you. Have some at lunchtime and again at dinner too. It will energise and sustain you - the whole day through. But it will also leave you room, power and the thirst to do what you need to do and contribute.

The word appreciate is a magical one. It has 3 meanings. It is a meditation and manifestation: it means to (i) take note, (ii) to value,  (iii) grow in value. So when you when you become first aware, and when you really value  - all in this precious life - then you and all you do will blossom, appreciate and grow in value.
