WORD FOR THE DAY(gratefulness.org)
Thursday, Jan. 21
We have thousands of opportunities
every day to be grateful:
for having good weather,
to have slept well last night,
to be able to get up,
to be healthy,
to have enough to eat. ...
There's opportunity upon
opportunity to be grateful;
that's what life is.
Brother David Steindl-Rast
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
