When you are in gratitude, you are already in abundance.
There is no second step.
The moment you are grateful for your life, and all that’s in it, good and bad, painful and joyful, tragic and comic, you are already in the Kingdom, overwhelmed by riches.
When you are grateful, you are fully present in your life. You are not caught up in past and future, in what could have been, or what might be, in regret or anticipation.
You appreciate deeply what you have and what you are. How far you’ve come and how much courage and strength it’s taken to get here.
With tears in your eyes, you drink a cup of tea, or spend an hour or two with a friend. You appreciate the rain, the sunshine, the clouds, the darkness and the light. Each meal is a gift. Everything you drink. Your clothes, however tattered. Your body, however imperfect.
It doesn’t matter how much time you have left. You appreciate the time you’ve had.
You appreciate this day. This day is the portal!
Oh, you may lose everything before long. Or you may gain the world. You may rise high or fall low. Who knows. Who the hell knows.
But you are here, now.
Sitting. Standing. Breathing. Feeling.
Thinking. Confused or clear.
It is always a good day to begin.
Yes, when you are truly grateful, you are a child in the Kingdom.
Abundance is here, friend, when you the have the eyes to see it.
