Reflection upon Gratitude
Peace from inside, that is what it gives you
Standing still and realizing why you are grateful for what you have
Brings you back to your roots,
It takes away your doubts.
The doubts about the why.
It takes away your worries.
Because deep from inside you will start feeling this sentiment of trust –
The sentiment that everything will be alright,
because everything you have is beautiful.
You will start to remember again
Why you are doing what you are doing.
You get back to the very roots of your motivation,
Your values.
Value no. 1: Gratitude
Gratitude for life
Gratitude for your abilities, your talents,
Gratitude for the amazing people that surround you.
Gratitude for your strength.
Gratitude for your weakness.
Gratitude for the moments and people that made your path difficult.
Gratitude for the trust in yourself.
Gratitude for the trust that you are able to gift others.
Gratitude for this inner peace you are feeling right now,
Because you are able to be grateful.
If you are truly grateful, would it not be a shame if you…
did not enjoy your life
did not use your abilities to the fullest
did not show love to the amazing people around you
did not use your strength for a good cause
did not work on the weakness that you are able to change
and did not love and embrace the weakness that you cannot change
would it not be a shame if you...
did not draw positive conclusions out of your difficult experiences
did not trust yourself and your abilities
did not gift people with your trust if they are trustworthy.
did not stand still and let this inner peace fulfill you right now
a peace that comes from being truly grateful.
Indeed, you would miss out on
the true beauty,
the true joy,
the truthfulness of life.
Let us not only feel the gratitude but live it!
