A Grateful Heart

Whatever we are waiting for – peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance – it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.  Sarah Ban Breathnach

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and of giving thanks, continuously.  Because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.  Ralph Waldo Emerson

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears, but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing.  The greatest blessings are within us and within our reach.  Seneca

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.  Eckhart Tolle

A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness.  It is an expression of humility.  It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.  James E. Faust
