We've all embraced the mantra an attitude of gratitude. What's the funny thing about words? These sacred words we use like love, sorry and gratitude sometimes just word we toss in the sentences that feel more like platitudes. How does it feel in our bones what we say versus what our integrity we own? Let's go back to gratitude.
I used to seduce the light. I was a light chaser, running from shadow, piercing out to anything that would feel bright. I was hiding from my gold, feeling asleep at the wheel. How many minutes of deepening gratitude I self stole from my own soul this gratitude with attitude while my life pivoted and deepened when I changed my longitude and my latitude to shift my perspective to see that there is no good and bad that it’s all just one big mirrored reflective you see.
I used to only list the things of gratitude that were the highest, latest, highs the things I perceived seemingly to set me free now I am grateful not just for the shiny bits I am grateful for every bit. Let me repeat that bit. Be grateful for not just the shiny bits be grateful for every bit.
So no longer grateful just for the dopamine good bits when's the first, last time the first thing I said I was grateful for was the shit.
Let me be rawthentic. In my past I have said that I am grateful for my good health because we all know that health is our wealth. But what I wish to share is I am so grateful for my current health scares because in these moments of now life moves from a retrospective or a future feeling to honor a true perspective.
Be grateful for not just the shiny bits be grateful for every bit. So with this next in breath I invite you to ignite take it in with me now the good, the bad, the golden next next breath life becomes even more precious.
