“Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.”
-Denis Waitley
When you woke up today, did you express gratitude to the sun for providing the light that is necessary to sustain life? What about acknowledging the blessing of water for its role in your basic survival and well-being, or expressing appreciation for the bacteria in your gut that helps you to digest foods that nourish your body and keep it alive?
Oftentimes, we get so busy with the routines and distractions of life that we lose sight of the things that truly matter.
We forget, as we go though our days, nights, and years, how remarkable our existence is; that there are powerful forces making our planet spin on its axis as we travel through space and time and that there are atoms that are constantly rearranging themselves to make it so that we are present here.
We often forget how precious even the seemingly simple things are, and we mostly fail to adequately acknowledge how each small piece that makes our lives continue each day is truly a blessing to be appreciated…from the smallest gust of wind, to the people and pets who bring us joy and happiness…
Today, be sure to pause and appreciate all that life gives you in every moment. Practice gratitude for all of existence, not just today, but in every day to come.
