The secret and starting point to everlasting happiness is gratitude. We need to be thankful for what we have. And there are so many things to be thankful for. Just sit down and make a list of all the people and things that inspire you and that you love and gratitude begins right there. We can be thankful for our health. We can be thankful for our family and friends. The list is endless. The everyday mundane things we take for granted are building blocks towards happiness. The more we realise their significance and the more we see their role towards optimal empowerment, the more we will show gratitude towards them. As an exercise, think of a goal you have attained and then write down the steps you took in achieving that goal. Who and what were involved in the accomplishment? Were you grateful for all these people and situations that brought you there? Did you feel that some seemingly negative situation may have helped you? Are you grateful for that?
Gratitude is karmic and when we master the art of gratitude, it becomes apparent that we receive it back. That's what inner peace and serenity are all about.
