The word that stands out to me is choose, because being grateful is indeed a conscious choice that I can make each day, and from moment to moment, throughout my day. When I choose to orient myself to life from a grateful perspective, I notice my worries fade away. I still have worries but they are not front and center in my mind. Gratefulness and contentment are front and center.
Sending peace to all.
When I can shift my perspective to one of gratitude, I notice all the good stuff. The kindness of people, the beauty all around, and the luck and privilege that has been given to me.
I do, indeed, have to choose to orient myself to a life of gratitude, everday. That is one reason I re-upped for these daily readings and posts. I have to CHOOSE it every day, or ai will get swallowed up by the negativity. In doing this I’m not just a more positive person or happier person, because real life is still what it is. But finding ways to be grateful and share that with others, either overtly or covertly, changes everything within me. I am not so self-centered, but I do practice self-care. I am not looking for or wary of enemies; I am looking for friends of all kinds. Gratitude just gives me a different lens through which to see life, and thus a different launch pad for the way I live it. But it is a choice every single day.
When I choose to orient myself to life from a grateful perspective, I am reminded that Life is trustworthy and so am I. I am reminded that I am not meant to fight life. I am meant to embrace it.
I love the word “choose” in the question. It is a choice I can make every day. As I contemplate this choice, I instantly feel more hopeful and open to the day. I feel better prepared for a day full of allies instead of adversaries. I remember I am more than my obligations. I am the Light being an Avril.
I notice that Life is Truth and that to live forever is our birthright. How to live forever? By coming out of my mind world which is like a movie or video in my mind and I’m the star of the film – remembered thoughts of my life lived . When I choose to use the meditation method, I har come out of my cave like mind world into the source which is Life/Truth. More and more wisdom comes or has been revealed due to totally choosing LIFE over death in my false picture world .
I’m so grateful to life/thr universe! Thank you so much for allowing me to do this and to be here now ! I love you!

Yes to all of this, Katrina. Well said and so true!

“I am not meant to fight life. I a meant to embrace it.” What a radical life changing insight! ♥️🥰☀️
I have come upon the idea of walking with instead of getting through. When I do this I feel calm and more trusting.
Such an accepting life giving stance. Love this!
Thank you YRAM. Your words are so helpful to me.
Life flows calmly. I pause more. I notice more. I am truly grateful.
Sunnypatti, I resignate with you on that. Everything just feels more peaceful when we’re grateful rather than greedy.
I’m fortunate, I’m blessed! 🍀
My Ngoc, we’re certainly fortunate to have the luxury to still enjoy a laidback lifestyle in our 30s. Enjoy it while it lasts.
I’m more present and less stressed.
Drea, gratefulness sure has a very calming affect.
I come from a great beanstock where I have a stable loving family who are there for me when needed most.
I notice thankfulness.

The unseen mental burden is lightened when I allow my practice of gratefulness to arise fully. Peace, Love & Light.
