Quotes
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”- Melody Beattie
“There is an abundance of material on the earth to make everyone comfortable and happy; yet scarcity, like poverty, is a self-created illusion. The real problem is the unequal distribution of material blessings, which is ultimately a spiritual problem, not an economic one.” - Eknath Easwaran
“The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.” - Eden Phillpotts
