Stone Twelve

Thank: I am grateful. Gratitude helps me bring out the positive in my life and also makes room for The Divine to bring additional positive situations, people, and spiritual experiences into my life. I thank those who have guided me on my path.

Like attracts like, and the more we open to love, joy, peace, and happiness, the more we attract those qualities. The same holds true for gratitude. The more gratitude we express to ourselves and others, the more it comes back to us.

Sometimes we get so discouraged we feel as if we have nothing to be grateful for. Those are times when gratitude can be the most effective. A daily practice of gratitude helps us establish a baseline of strength to help us overcome discouragement and depression.

We don’t have to be rich, or successful, or healthy, or married, or religious, or upper class to be grateful or to have reasons to be grateful. The poor, the hungry, the lonely, the troubled, and the sick can all live lives full of gratitude. Gratitude makes life enjoyable, for us, and for these we express gratitude towards. Aesop had this to say about gratitude: “Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.” Allow gratitude to be the oil that fuels the light of your soul.
