Here we are. You. Me. Some life experiences and a whole bunch of emotions. Good, bad or ugly, these emotions and experiences shape us into who we are- now. Are all of them preferred? Most often not. But all of them have brought you to where you are and who you are today.
And you know what? That's a pretty special place.
Gratitude is more than just being thankful or content with what you have and where you are. Gratitude means LOVING, (ok to be more gentle) LIKING, who this person is and what this person has gone through to get here. Why? Because this person, this YOU, is AMAZING. You have HUGE potential to create anything and everything YOU want. So, what do you want?
Our past clearly gives us a big advantage here. Our past shows us what we want, what we don't want, what feels good and not so good- all so we can repeat it or change it.
Patterns. Our past helps us identify patterns.
So what patterns work for you? What patterns do not? What are you MOST liking? What has moved you? What has hurt you? What has hurt you AND has lifted you to better places within yourself?
THIS is what gratitude is. Moving. Learning. Loving and creating more. From where?
From right where you are, who you are and what you have NOW.
