Gratitude

“Gratitude is a discipline. It’s a practice. It’s the art of taking full responsibility for your own life, without excuses or blame. This isn’t a spontaneous experience. It’s a choice.

And so today, I’m thankful for the moments I saw my pain, and took responsibility for my experience. I’m thankful for times I tapped into the suffering around me and realized how I was complicit with it.

I’m thankful for being loved, but I’m also thankful for those that left me–the ones that couldn’t make the journey with me.

They taught me much. I’m thankful for the challenges too. They’ve made me tough as nails and resilient.”
