Gratitude
One of the most important parts of a Spiritual Path is gratitude. Because if you are not grateful for whatever you have now, how do you expect to get more than you already have?
This might sound trite but it is also true, “Gratitude is the motor of life”.
Imagine your gratitude is an engine in your car and you need to get from California to New York (Or either way (or from Florida to Seattle) either way for whatever the reason.
IF you want to go there and aren’t grateful for what you have already, you are not going to get wherever you are going to.
If you ask me why this is I cannot really tell you. However, I have observed this scientifically throughout my life.
However, not being grateful for what you do have: Life, car, property, that is paid for I believe isn’t really good. Even if your life isn’t what you thought it was going to be that isn’t good enough.
Only 1/3 of people on earth consider themselves happy by the way. So, that means 2/3 of people are sort of miserable on any given day.
And even I might say my 20s and my 40s were pretty miserable at times. However, since 50 my life has been pretty good so I stay alive for the good times. Will it always be this way? I don’t know. I do what I can for myself and everyone I know so they choose to stay alive and try to be happy too.
So, in the end what is the motor of life?
Gratitude and Joy are the motor of life.
By God's Grace
