Gratefulness uplifts the heart and brings peace to the soul.
By its very nature, gratefulness appreciates, and even celebrates what is now in the moment.
Desire can relax its usually contracted muscle that is forever looking longingly to the next moment for its fulfillment.
However, we cannot be naive: many things are simply not okay as they are.
It might seem paradoxical, but ultimately we need to embrace change and a larger kind of gratefulness–one that includes our creative spirits’ continual search and efforts to do whatever it takes to improve ourselves, the lives of others, and the world.
