"Gratitude Changes Everything" by Brian Thompson

the art of acceptance 

is transformative and powerful, 

a life changing behavior.

by accepting, 

we stop resisting. 

we struggle no more. 

we smile at the inevitable. 

we laugh at the folly of our ways. 

we nod our heads at the unexpected, 

and simply say, “and so it is".

embrace the beauty 

of each passing moment 

for its clarity and purpose, 

and all the wisdom it brings.

gratitude changes everything!

it gets rid of victimhood. 

it removes blame. 

it takes back your power, 

rather than giving it all away 

to whatever is beyond our control.

i am grateful for all my failures; 

i have no regrets, 

for everything i’ve done 

and everything i’ve seen 

has made me into who i am today.

gratitude welcomes new understandings. 

it ushers in new learnings 

from all that didn’t work for us before.

gratitude nurtures our inner wisdom.

create inner peace 

through finding absolute contentment 

in whatever moment you're now in, 

rather than fretting it away 

complaining about the past 

or worrying for the future.

accept each moment 

and be grateful for what is. 

after all, that’s exactly what happiness is.
