Gratitude rests our hearts and souls from their near-constant striving, wanting, and unrest.
Focusing on our gratitude, it can blossom into contentment and greater inner peace.
We relax some from our grasping and needing.
Our requisite happiness does not hinge on desire fulfilled–this carrot-and-stick ad nauseam.
This play at gratitude and contentment has great potential to incrementally free us.
Practice it, and see.
