I Choose Gratitude

I choose gratitude.

I choose gratitude even during times of hardship.

In every moment,

I have all that I need to feel peaceful.

I choose gratitude over trying to bypass,

Ignore,

Or push down difficult feelings.

Gratitude is readily available,

And I trust in the Universe that my wildest,

Most magnificent dreams are being fulfilled regardless of whether or not they have manifested.

I can be uncomfortable and grateful at the same time.

I experience love and gratitude even when it feels like everything around me is falling apart.

I view challenges as opportunities.

Developing my abilities makes my life more rewarding.

Overcoming obstacles teaches me that I am resilient.

I recognize my worth and know that I deserve to feel joyful.

I take care of myself.

I have learned what makes me happy,

And I surround myself with positive thoughts and people who love and encourage me.

I work at being flexible.

Change is part of life,

So I prepare myself to adapt to new conditions.

I listen to others who express views different than my own.

I welcome new experiences with an open mind and see their potential to add joy to my life.

Laughter instantly refreshes my sense of joy.

I lighten up and feel more energized.

Most of all,

I strive to be generous.

It's easier to feel joyful and grateful when I concentrate on helping others rather than worrying about myself.

I give my time,

My energy,

And money to support worthy causes in my community and around the globe.

Today,

I resolve to be grateful.

I know that I am responsible for my own joy.
