The Power of Gratitude

Thursday Luncheon

 

Gratitude is a power that drives the human spirit to transcend resentments and the other negative emotional detritus of a lifetime of self-absorption. Gratitude emanates naturally from one's commitment to making humility a high priority. This commitment to humility is not false modesty, but is rather one's fervent dedication to knowing the self as one really is. True self awareness then brings with it the concomitant blessing that is genuine humility, and genuine humility gives rise to the perspective (or worldview) that might best be described as an attitude of gratitude. And from this attitude happiness almost invariably follows.
