Gratitude. Simple, and Beautiful

Posted by MeLisa Strongheart on October 10, 2011 at 12:00am

I watched this video upon the recommendation of an amazing friend, and teacher.  Had to share it here.  We have done, and will continue to do gratitude raising projects, and do so for many reasons. 

One being the mounting evidenced based research on the roots, and traits of those who are psychologically more resilient. And this video brings so clearly to another reason:  the personal pleasure, and happiness, a more highly cultivated sense of gratitude brings to one's life. 

Enjoy-- a thousand hours of training, in 9 minutes.

Please comment if you would, as I think a conversation about this subject would be very interesting and exciting.
