Gratitude opens the door to the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the universe. You open the door through gratitude.
Quote by Deepak Chopra
REFLECTION:
We are so used to having others tell us what to do and we follow their direction. What if you could draw the map instead of reading one?
Personal interpretation from a blog post by Seth Godin
REFLECTION:
We suffer, often unknowingly, from wanting to be in two places at once, from wanting to experience more than one person can. This is a form a greed, of wanting everything. Feeling like we’re missing something or that we’re being left out, we want it all. Being human, we can’t have it all. When caught in this mindset, no amount of travel is enough, no amount of love is enough, no amount of success is enough. Greed is not restricted to money. When we believe we are behind or less than, we somehow start to want more than we need, as if what we don’t have will fill in our pain and make us feel whole, as if the thing we have’t tasted will be the thing to bring us alive. The truth is one experience, to love and be loved, taken to heart will satisfy.
