Quotes About Gratitude

Those who receive the blessing are those who see beyond its disguise.

When we give freely, we feel full and complete; when we withhold, we feel small, petty, impotent, and lacking. We are meant to learn this great truth, that giving fulfills us, while withholding and trying to get causes us to feel empty and even more needy.

This is the simple truth the ego refuses to accept, and it will suffer as long as that is the case.

Why not like- love - it all because it won't be here for long, it will never be this way again, and it's all you've got.
