Gratitude

Gratitude is not merely for the materialistic expansion of our life...
for a new home
or a new car
or a successful business or job
or family expansion
or financial expansion

Gratitude is for everything in life
for an accident
for a break-up
for a painful situation
for a failure
for each of these teaches us a lesson, that could not have been learnt otherwise
and in turn transforms our eyes to see the world differently

Gratitude is for everything
and for life itself.

For today, my eyes open to see the world, with all its colours, beauty and imperfections
For today, there is love in life and laughter and joy

For tomorrow, I might have to leave this body and the wonder of this world might no more exist for me.

Gratitude can become our moment to moment living.
Gratitude makes us feel one with the universe, for whatsoever happens is accepted with love and bowing down.
