Gratitude is a feeling of love, it has the effect of warming our hearts and opening us up to the true understanding that everything which comes to us in life is a gift from the spiritual world, in the form of a constant, daily flow of events.

• By practicing gratitude we will realize that only what we love will reveal itself to us in its deepest meaning. And each of these revelations will fill us with further gratitude, because we will understand that everything that comes to us only does so to enrich us internally.
• Gratitude for those joys and sorrows that push us to understand, to act with love and for love…
• If we are too critical towards everything that comes to us, we hinder our understanding of that wealth of opportunities that lies behind certain people and certain events. Being hypercritical produces a contraction of gratitude, which stops us from understanding and from growing internally.
• Indifference is another terrible contraction of gratitude, as it prevents us from immersing ourselves in the rich, positive sense behind our daily flow of events.
• We should be grateful for all that has come to us in life, because we’ve become who we are only thanks to the that series of past, non-casual events and experiences, which were tailor-made just for us, to help us grow.
• Gratitude gives birth to love, and when love is born out of gratitude for life, it opens our heart to the spiritual force that permeates all existence. We begin to acquire a new kind of “sight”, and a higher sensitivity.
• Through gratitude we can connect to the deeper “why” of things, and not just to their appearances… we connect directly to the spiritual world.
• The idea that fate always unfolds for positive reasons doesn’t originate from the mind – which is linked to our physical senses – but from the heart and from a feeling of gratitude, which are connected to the spiritual world.
• It is precisely thanks to this feeling of gratitude that a conviction can grow within us: our destiny is always taking us in a positive direction.
• When we experience gratitude and love, we sense destiny’s direction of positive evolution and we begin to understand the power of the events that have made us what we are.
• And then we will be grateful to all our past, we will live the present with positive and active attention and we will wait for the future with calmly and confidently.
