Living In Gratitude

What if just for today, you lived in gratitude? There would be no thought of being the best or climbing the ladder of success. There would only be a quietness in your mind. An understanding that all that is, interacts with each other. All that you have was created by others to provide you with comfort. There is nothing that is not a part of your life. If this is so, then you have much to be grateful for. With the understanding that all is connected, comes a better appreciation of the universe Through this interaction, you do your best because all that is received is given with good intention. What you gift to others is returned to you ten fold. By being self less, you become a compassionate spirit to all.
There is a sense of peace within us all...
 
(It's overwhelming when I think that all I have comes from others. Someone who sewed my blanket, who built my house, who grew my food. We do not live in a vacuum. We are all interconnected. Being grateful begins with caring about others and being aware of our role in the universe. I can no longer claim ignorance in this chaotic world. If there going to be change, it will begin with me.)
