A Heart That’s Truly Alive
If thankfulness genuinely
Springs from your heart
Then your heart is truly alive.
But if each moment passes without gratitude
Then your heart is asleep.
If you cannot find thankfulness
Living inside your heart each day,
Then recognize how closed you have become
And give understanding and love to yourself.
Inability to feel thankfulness does not
Come from a lack of wisdom,
But from a lack of empathy and compassion.
When you accept yourself, this is remedied.
But if you deny your current condition,
Then you may become trapped
In a folly that shrouds your eyes from seeing yourself.
When you accept everything you have inside,
Thankfulness returns to your heart.
Do you have a warm heart that can
Truly appreciate and be thankful?
If you’ve lacked gratitude in your life,
Express more appreciation starting today.
No matter what situation presents itself,
Receive it with joy and gratitude.
When you do, the life in your heart will burn brightly.
