Gratitude turns what you have into enough

These beautiful words are from Melody Beattie – here’s the full quote:
 
‘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. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. It can turn an existence into a real life, and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
 
Gratitude makes things right.
 
Gratitude turns negative energy into positive energy. There is no situation or circumstance so small or large that it is not susceptible to gratitude’s power. We can start with who we are and what we have today, apply gratitude, then let it work its magic.

Say thank you, until you mean it. If you say it long enough, you will believe it.’
 
I know I definitely needed to read these words today - hope you find them helpful.

I find gratitude is one of the best remedies if I'm ever feeling low. It's NOT about burying your head in the sand and ignoring what is going on around you - instead I like to think of it as simply choosing to also recognise the positives in your life.

And there is always something to be grateful for. Even if it's as simple as having food on the table, a roof over your head and the beautiful bright sun in the sky! 

Whatever you do, take this as a reminder that you are enough, you have enough and you do enough ❤️
