If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

It is only normal that people count losses with their minds, and ignore to count blessings with the graciousness of their hearts.

Gratitude is an overflow of the pleasure filling your soul.

Gratitude paints little smiley faces on everything it touches

Be thankful for your allotment in an imperfect world. Though better circumstances can be imagined, far worse are nearer misses than you probably care to realize.

Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart.

I may not be where I want to be but I'm thankful for not being where I used to be.

This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

Joy is thankfulness, and when we are joyful, that is the best expression of thanks we can offer the Lord, Who delivers us from sorrow and sin.

Life without thankfulness is devoid of love and passion. Hope without thankfulness is lacking in fine perception. Faith without thankfulness lacks strength and fortitude. Every virtue divorced from thankfulness is maimed and limps along the spiritual road.

Thankfulness creates gratitude which generates contentment that causes peace.

We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.

Sometimes we focus so much on what we don't have that we fail to see, appreciate, and use what we do have!

People complain about the bad things that happen to em that they don't deserve but they seldom mention the good. About what they done to deserve them things

We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.

Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayer and worn with thanks.

So to you, or anyone else who has spent four minutes on me in some way-- listening to just one song, or watching one of my videos.Thank you. I love you like I love sparkles and having the last word. And that's real love.

Rest and be thankful.

One of the main reasons that we lose our enthusiasm in life is because we become ungrateful..we let what was once a miracle become common to us. We get so accustomed to his goodness it becomes a routine..

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

Take time to be thankful for everything that you have. You can always have more, but you could also have less.

Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.

How easily we can forget how precious life is! So long as we can remember, we've just been here, being alive. Unlike other things for which we have a good comparison black to white, day to night, good to bad we are so immersed in life that we can see it only in the context of itself. We don't see life as compared to anything, to not-being, for example, to never having been born. Life just is. But life itself is a gift. It's a compliment just being born: to feel, breathe, think, play, dance, sing, work, make love, for this particular lifetime. Today, let's give thanks for life. For life itself. For simply being born!

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you. Remember, life is an echo. It always gets back to you. So give goodness.

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.

Silent gratitude isn't very much use to anyone.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

Don't waste your time on things that you think you want because there is always someone out there who needs it much more than you could ever possibly know.

Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.

It's the recognition that other people's problems, their pain and frustrations, are every bit as real as our own often far worse. In recognizing this fact and trying to offer some assistance, we open our hearts and greatly enhance our sense of gratitude.

Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you�ll find that you have more of it.

Gratitude doesn't change the scenery. It merely washes clean the glass you look through so you can clearly see the colors.

It isn't what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful, but what you have in your heart.

Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

If we magnified blessings as much as we magnify disappointments, we would all be much happier.

Be thankful for what you have, you'll end of having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours.

We need to regularly stop and take stock; to sit down and determine within ourselves which things are worth valuing and which things are not; which risks are worth the cost and which are not. Even the most confusing or hurtful aspects of life can be made more tolerable by clear seeing and by choice.

A good life is when you smile often, dream big, laugh a lot and realize how blessed you are for what you have.

Gratitude is absolutely the way to bring more into your life.

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have life itself.

None of those material possessions do anything to make your life any better I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they're absolutely the most miserable people in the world. So it won't do anything for you unless you're a happy person and can have peace with yourself.

You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you

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.

If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.
