Spiritual Spice #9 -- Gratitude/Prosperity 6:53

 

The grateful mind is a great mind, and attracts to it great things.

 Plato (427-348 BCE)

When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity.  A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude towards gratitude.

Elie Wiesel (concentration camp survivor)

 Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life...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.

Melody Beattie

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

Cicero (106-43 BCE)

If the only prayer you say in your life is "Thank You," that would suffice.

Meister Eckhart (1260-1327)

Gratitude is heaven itself.

William Blake (1757-1827)

[Some people] have a wonderful capacity to appreciate again and again, freshly and naively, the basic goods of life, with awe, pleasure, wonder, and even ecstasy.

A. H. Maslow (1908-1970)

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in ink.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

Thanksgiving is not just a reactive emotion; it is a causative energy.

Eric Butterworth

An attitude of gratitude is most salutary, and bespeaks the realization that we are now in heaven.

Ernest Holmes (1887-1960)

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

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

I feel a very unusual sensation -- if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude.

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

 

 

Spiritual growth is in direct proportion to our ability to accept the good fortune that life can provide. During the past fifty years, during which I have met many thousands of people, I have never known of anyone with a habitual poverty consciousness who experienced an obvious degree of spiritual growth. I have known many such people who were pleasant, kind, and well-intentioned, and some who were able to generate a pleasant mood when praying or meditating. But real spiritual growth? No.

Learn to be affluent: to always be in a continuous flow of resources and supportive events, circumstances and wholesome relationships for the highest good of yourself, others, the planet, and the universe.

Roy Eugene Davis

You are the child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

Marianne Williamson
