Unconditional gratitude

In the joys, in the annoyances, in the wins and losses, in the frustrations and moments of shining insight, is life. Every little bit of it is connected with all the rest.

Because of such connection, gratitude for anything amounts to gratitude for everything. That gratitude is a desirable vantage from which to embark.

When you embrace what is, as it is, you align yourself with reality, with truth. Though it’s not always comfortable or pleasant, it’s your most authentic and effective way forward.

The forces that push against your progress show you clearly where and why you must grow stronger. As you grow in strength and experience, you’re able to make better use of the beneficial parts of life.

With unconditional gratitude the distractions can aid in your focus, the defeats will set you up for victory. You’ll harness the ever-changing winds to carry you in a consistent and meaningful direction.

Allow gratitude to flow throughout the connection between all you are, all you have, and all that is. Be a positive force as you discover and expand upon the goodness in it all.
