Youth posseses, wings feathered with poetry and sinews rippling with vison, whereby it carries the young aloft, beyond the clouds. There they see the comos flooded with prismatic light rays like the colors of the rainbow and hear life chanting anthems of glory and majesty. But before long those Lyrical wings are shredded by the storms of experience, and they plummet to the world of reality. The world of reality is a wierd mirror, wherin men see themselves diminished and distorted.
(Broken Wings, P19) Kahlil Gibran
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. It can turn existences into a real life, and disconnected situations into an important and beneficial lesson. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Gratitude makes things right
Gratitude turns negative energy into positive energy. There is no situation or circumstance so small or large that it is not susceptible to gratitudes power. We can start with who we are and what we gave today, apply gratitude, then let it work its magic.
Say thank you until you mean it. If you say it long enough , you will believe it.
(Pg 218; The launguage Of Letting Go)
