“It is not happy people who are thankful. It is thankful people who are happy.” Thanks Pejman Milani for sharing the quote, it reminds me about the Tedtalk by David Steindl Rast about power of gratitude. This powerful statement flips the conventional thinking about happiness on its head. True happiness doesn’t come from external achievements or circumstances—it comes from a mindset of gratitude. When you pause to appreciate what you have, even in difficult times, you shift your focus from what’s missing to what’s present. Gratitude fosters contentment, builds stronger relationships, and creates a sense of abundance. It’s a habit that transforms your outlook on life. Happiness isn’t the cause of gratitude; gratitude is the foundation of happiness. Start with gratitude, and joy will follow. Here is the link for that beautiful talk - https://lnkd.in/dgiDidYE #gratitude #thankful

Erica, your realization about the power of gratitude is profound and transformative. For too long, we get caught up in the relentless pursuit of more - more money, status, possessions - blindly sprinting towards an elusive state of "happiness" that always seems just out of reach. Your journey has revealed the simple yet life-changing truth that happiness is not a destination, but a state of mind cultivated through appreciating the blessings we already have. By shifting your focus to the richness surrounding you - the shelter, nourishment, relationships, and wonders of nature that so many take for granted - you've tapped into an inexhaustible wellspring of contentment. In our culture of constant want and consumption, embracing gratitude is a revolutionary act that frees us from the shackles of insatiable desire. Your story reminds us that the key to fulfillment lies not in accumulating more, but in cherishing what we have with open hearts and minds. As you've experienced, when we approach life from a place of thankfulness, we attract more abundance, joy, and serenity. Your Easter message is a potent call to awaken from the trance of discontentment and bear witness to the miracles unfolding all around us each day. May your words inspire others to embark on their own transformative journeys towards appreciating the sacred gifts that life continuously bestows upon us all. Thank you for sharing your hard-won wisdom - it's a light that can help illuminate the path for countless souls still seeking their own way to happiness.
