of mind and happiness inside. No matter what is going on outside of us,

our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we
have we will not be happy – because we will always want to have
something else or something more. David Steindl-Rast

but the things you can imagine you need are infinite, and you will never
be satisfied. Epicurus

Of the blessings set before you, make your choice, and be content. Samuel Johnson
Gratitude is the state of mind of thankfulness. As it is
cultivated, we experience an increase in our “sympathetic joy,” our
happiness at another’s happiness. Just as in the cultivation of
compassion, we may feel the pain of others, so we may begin to feel
their joy as well. And it doesn’t stop there. Stephen Levine
Gratitude unlocks all that’s blocking us from really
feeling truthful, really feeling authentic and vulnerable and happy.
Gabrielle Bernstein
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. Oprah Winfrey
Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It
turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…
it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision
for tomorrow. Melody Beattie
Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude. Joseph Wood Krutch
A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world. Joseph Addison
Gratitude helps you to grow and expand; gratitude brings
joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around
you. Eileen Caddy

of the universe, while dissatisfaction closes your eyes to it. Stephen
Richards
The soul that gives thanks can find comfort in
everything; the soul that complains can find comfort in nothing. Hannah
Whitall Smith
Expectation has brought me disappointment. Disappointment has brought me wisdom. Acceptance, gratitude and appreciation have brought me joy and fulfillment. Rasheed Ogunlaru
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or
consumed. Happiness is a spiritual experience of living every minute
with love, grace and gratitude. Dennis Waitley
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man
has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
