When I consider the experience of life – and the opportunity to steward the one and only me through it, I have choices.
These choices include many things. There’s gratitude, awareness and potential. They allow my heart to cultivate encouraging and helpful experiences.
The flip side is unconstructive. Thanklessness colors the world with gloom and despair. Not a fun place to hang out.
When Lady Gaga penned her hit “Poker Face,” she alluded to bold and daring themes. This gambling allusion strikes me as spacious enough to encompass the incarnation of life.
This is the life I was dealt . . .
Check this hand; it’s marvelous!
“Gratitude, like faith, is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it grows, and the more power you have to use it on your behalf.” – Alan Cohen
When I assume an “attitude of gratitude” .. even when my unconstructive flip side raises hell; my perspective will eventually change. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly as they say. But it will change.
