Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.

Enough is a feast

I can only say that I have had a wonderful life.

Take delight in small things because it is from tiny seeds that flowers grow.

Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.

He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.

There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.

I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and new.

Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Gratitude is a duty which ought to be paid, but which none have a right to expect.

Gratitude is a two fold love - love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

One of the effects of a safe and civilized life is an immense oversensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions somewhat disgusting. Generosity is as painful as meanness, gratitude as hateful as in gratitude.

Gratitude - the meanest and most sniveling attribute in the world.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

Whatever I am offered in devotion with a pure heart - a leaf, a flower, fruit, or water - I accept with joy.

Most people return small favors, acknowledge medium ones and repay greater ones - with in gratitude.

Many times a day I realize how much my own life is built on the labours of my fellowmen, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
