“The present moment is the only moment available to us and it is the door to all other moments.”
What you don’t know is what can hold you back from the fullness of gratitude. I suggest we fully give in to gratitude right now. I often say this is the only moment that exists, and I was reminded of that again today.
I was faced with the news of the passing of a friend today. It was unexpected and sudden and under circumstances most would consider tragic. No more detail is necessary for my point… when I heard of his passing I wondered if there was any place in my heart where I hadn’t lived in gratitude for the part he played in my life.
There wasn’t.
What if there had been?
I won’t spend time to consider the alternatives — but I will look to recognize if there is any place where I still need to go to gratitude. Is there anyone with whom I feel at odds? Can I let it go and replace that with gratitude? It will lead to better relationships and a more fulfilling experience of life. I guarantee it!
What I don’t know is whether I will even be here tomorrow. So there is the urgency for beginning in gratitude. This is the only moment, right now.
I am grateful.
