An Attitude Of Gratitude

Let’s assume there is no such thing as absolute reality. Let’s assume we are masters of our own universe, capable of creating the reality we want. How then should we go about creating our reality?

Let’s start by looking at the glass as half full, instead of half empty. Let’s assume one is innocent till proven guilty; good till proven otherwise. 

Instead of saying I’ll believe it when I see it, let’s start saying I’ll see it when I believe it. In the midst of the doom and gloom of the Coronavirus, social isolation and a pending economic collapse, let’s adopt the attitude of gratitude for all that we have, instead of all that we must have to be happy.

With Fall here and the harvest in, we should celebrate the new cycle of life by giving thanks for having survived another year, asking ourselves what damage, pain and suffering did we cause, knowingly or unknowingly, in order to survive; damage done to others, to the environment, and most importantly, to ourselves, in order to secure our basic needs like food, shelter, security and sex? 

Being kind to ourselves and others; giving more than we take, and an attitude of gratitude is a great way to get through life, especially during these difficult and chaotic times in human history.
