This reminds me of a nice quote: When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others. Dalai Lama
Thanks for sharing this, Sunil. Hadn’t read it before.
Oh yes, counting our blessings, especially when in turmoil, now that’s something so difficult, but the only way to get out of that turmoil, isn’t it?
Yes, I’ve found that to be true too, Shilpa.
So bang on and true. It’s all grace and gratitude and inner peace are great reclaimers.
And oh! also love that image. <3
Beautiful quote to live by! I’ve found that gratitude makes me reframe the very thoughts that are hurting me. For me, it’s this awareness that creates the shift in the mindset after which things begin to make sense.
I hope I’m making sense here. 🙂
