Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter
everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change
forever how we experience life and the world.
- John Milton
As we grow, most of us tend to encounter stern reminders of what we should respect. An elder has surely taken it upon themselves to instruct you on what you should respect and how respectful you must be to whomever or in any given situation. But, in my experience, there were never really any reminders to respect the life I was living or experiencing. I was always told to show respect for others, myself or moments demanding respect, but never life in general. How is one supposed to even show respect for life?
The answer is gratitude. The energy of gratitude is respectful and when that energy is emitted from you, being a sincere beacon, good things and kindness will navigate in your direction. You may not be able to see all the good that comes from being grateful, but if shown gratitude, life and the world will ladle your horizon with positive energy and projections against that which would seek to stifle your progress.
So, be reminded to respect yourself, respect others and be grateful. The balance of life will be rewarding.
