Gratitude brings so many unique blessings. I think it starts with recognizing the source of your talents, things, ideas, everything you’ve been given. I believe that source to be God, God gives us everything we have. I believe he is personally concerned with our lives and goals. The second step with gratitude is appreciating everything you have been given. Being greatful for any talents, posessions, etc… as well as taking responsibility for the things that haven’t been ideal in your life. Responsibilty and gratitude go hand in hand. If you are greatful you are responsible and vice versa.
Gratitude, like most things, is all about choice. Because we all have the ability to choose, we all have the ability to be greatful.
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.” -Cicero
Gratitude is the starting point to loving life and becoming someone that loves and is worth loving in return. May God bless each of us to be greatful for all that we have been blessed with.
