Seven Principles for Cultivating Gratitude
March 20th, 2009 by admin
- Gratitude is independent of one’s objective life circumstances
- Gratitude is a function of attention
- Entitlement makes gratitude impossible
- When we continue to receive something on a regular basis, we typically begin to take it for granted
- Our deepest sense of gratitude comes through grace — the awareness that we have not earned, nor do we deserve what we have been given
- Gratitude can be cultivated through sincere self-reflection
- The expression of gratitude (through words and deeds) has the affect of heightening our personal experience of gratitude.

Thanks for sharing this – our clients often prove number one very true; their gratitude is independent of their life circumstances. Even in the midst of poverty and homelessness, they are grateful for life itself and for the opportunity to start again.
