This week is all about gratitude and taking the time to think about what you may be thankful for? What are you grateful for?
Big things. Little things. Mundane things. Funny, humorous, even a little different… we can all find something to be grateful for when we search for it.
So to get you feeling a little more inspired about gratitude, I thought I would share these wonderful quotes with you:
1. “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” — Albert Einstein
2. “We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” — Cynthia Ozick
3. “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” — William Arthur Ward
4. He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.” – Epictetus
5. “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust
6. “The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more things you will have to express gratitude for.” – Zig Ziglar
7. “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey
8. “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. “– Robert Brault
9. “There is a calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.” – Ralph H. Blum
10. “Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build their philosophy of life.” A.J. Cronin
