Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the mother of all the rest." Cicero

Take some time every week to list all the blessings in your life in a journal.  

Remember, what you focus on grows, what you think about expands, and what you dwell on determines your destiny.  The aspects of your life that you devote the most attention to are the ones that you will see blossom into even greater marvels.  So stay centered on all the good in your life, and you'll find it will grow.

Suffering in life is really nothing more than the difference between the way things are and the way you imagined them to be.  If you  can come to accept the blessings of your present reality without always feeling that your life is hollow as compared to the lives of others, you will have taken a quantum leap toward enlightenment.

Commit to becoming a person who lives life in a constant state of gratitude and positive expectation.  Dream big dreams, but also savor the place where you find yourself to be at anytime. 

The road really is as good as the end.

When you can maintain this frame of mind, the universe will be sure to shower its abundance on you.
