Gratitude is no easy task especially when you’re tired, frustrated, overwhelmed, and struggling. Gratitude as a practice can help you put things in perspective. It is an effective tool we can use to bring ourselves into the present moment. It asks us to consciously focus our attention on what is happening now with openness and acceptance. A routine practice can strengthen feelings in you of compassion, warmth, and tenderness. Gratitude is powerful. It transforms lives. It can restore your faith in humanity. It can remind you that dreams can destroy your mediocrity, that life is beautiful and the fact that we indeed exist on this planet shooting through space is nothing short of a miracle.

Step into a life filled with gratitude when you take the time to practice daily. It’s all up to you.
