While searching for a way and manageable practice to implement gratitude exercises in my daily life a newly met wonderful person send me the link to this video. It didn’t took more than a minute and tears were running down my cheeks. I missed out so much on this topic until now. Gratitude does not start with a nice apartment or enough money in your bank account. Of cause I knew that I could be grateful for more, but somehow this information never touched my heart that deeply. But suddenly it hit it me while watching this video.
Gratefulness can go so much deeper. If you allow it. It starts with being grateful for:
- each beat of your heart
- each breath you are able to take
- each look you are able to take at the beauty of the world
- each glimpse you can take of the divinity all around us
- …. and so much more
This short video awakens the acknowledgment and realization to the wonders of our world, reminds about what truly matters, and invites to notice the everyday gifts of our lives and allowed me to implement gratefulness on a yet unknown level in my daily practice.
“So you think this is just another day in your life? It’s not just another day. It is the one day that is given to you … today.”
