“Be the change you want to see in the world.” - Gandhi

In these troubled times it is often difficult to realize all that we have to be grateful for.  Yet, there is a quality of the heart that we possess called gratitude. Gratitude is a spontaneous outpouring of love, affection, and appreciation for something or someone. True gratitude cannot be faked because as a quality of the heart it is deeply felt.

If there were just one thing I could be grateful for it would be for incarnating as a human being with the potential of Cosmic Consciousness.  It is a most wonderful, albeit over-looked, reason to be grateful.  As human beings each and every one of us has the ability to expand our consciousness into the highest realms.

The greatest way that we can show gratitude for this gift is to realize our highest potential.  Realizing our potential goes beyond how much money we can earn or even how much service we can give to others, because by expanding our consciousness we give more to humanity than any humanitarian act we could perform.
