“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”—Buddha
I have to remind myself to be grateful numerous times a day. Call it a “grattitude check”. Sometimes it takes a bit of convincing, and I don’t always express my gratitude willingly. Nevertheless, it is essential to my well-centered fitness. I simply cannot be balanced Spiritually, Physically, Intellectually, Emotionally, and Socially, if I am not grateful. I need to take productive pause at critical times throughout the day to remind myself of all there is to be grateful for. At the very least, I am grateful for the Purposes I am given in life. I am grateful, too, that my struggles are for a greater good—for reasons beyond myself.
Grattitude takes effort. Sometimes we have to be grateful for the things we didn’t ask for in life.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
