GRATEFUL JOURNEY {continued…}
“A new beginning? Can the sound of those three words have the power to motivate us into a world of positive attitudes, where our existence takes us on a grateful journey and a new approach on how we should view life? If we accept the challenge, we will uncover that the road to happiness begins when we achieve the wisdom to recognize all that we must be grateful for in our life; that we all have the opportunity, if we choose, to start a new life when we finally understand that life is simply the outcome of our thoughts and actions and that to have a new beginning, we must be true to ourselves. Yes, true to ourselves, because we must confront ourselves and ask, ‘Have we been feeling sorry for ourselves by choosing to spend valuable time harboring our disappointments or have we chosen a different road, where we focus on all that makes us grateful for being alive?’ Choosing to live a grateful journey empowers us, moment by moment by its very concept, to become aware in our everyday life of all the things that we take for granted and are, in reality, our greatest source of happiness. We must choose to enter into a state of quiet reflection where we find all that makes a grateful journey a reality; a reality that has always been part of us and that we have failed to recognize in the search for happiness outside of ourselves. The truth lies within us; that to be grateful and to be happy is one and the same. True happiness is the wisdom of knowing to be grateful for what is truly meaningful in our life. A grateful journey can begin today if we stop and behold our many gifts, such as our home and our family; our ability to watch a summer sunset; to hear our favorite music; to smell the perfume of a rose in bloom; to walk on a sandy beach and feel the warmth of the sun; to touch and be touched by the ones we love. The list will go on and on if our choice is to travel a grateful journey. The choice is yours.”
