You do not have an existence independent of your environment, but rather you are your environment, and your environment is you.
External situations are sometimes beyond our control. But the choice of thankfulness in our internal world is entirely ours.
To all of you who have made my being alive so wonderful, so exciting and so full, my thanks and all my love.
I want to remember to notice the wonders of each day, in each moment, no matter where I am under any circumstance.
We can see the whole world around us change when we choose to replace fear with gratitude and depression with appreciation.
There are often many people dying from thirst while many people are running for dear life away from the rain.
Feeling entitled is the opposite of feeling grateful. Gratitude opens the heart, entitlement closes it.
If I spend every moment, for the rest of my days, thanking God for all his goodness to us, that would still not be enough.
Be grateful for the day and the day will be grateful for you. Stay positive and everything around you will respond in kind.
Love and forgive the person you used to be. Love and nurture the person you are. Love and celebrate the person you know you will be.
Keep your eyes on all that's good and beautiful and possible in the world. Because the stories we tell create the people we become.
We're all under pressure strangled by stresses. If you treasure what you do have. That's the success, that's most impressive.
