More on Gratitude
“The love that follows us sometime is our trouble, which still we thank as love.”
“Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.”
“Comparison with something that is better is the thief of joy. Comparison with something that is worse is a joy - full of relief and gratitude! You cannot always choose what happens to you or your circumstances but you can always choose your attitude by what you choose to compare your experiences or circumstances to and therefore how you will feel!! We can make any experience either a heaven or a hell by what we compare it to. Our emotions are 'an inside job!'”
More on Trials
“What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise”
“The courage to face the trials and to bring a whole new body of possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience - that is the hero's deed.”
“I know that every trial requires fairness and truth. Any trial that abandons the pursuit of truth cannot be considered fair or just.”
