The Story of Gratitude: My Story
Season 2 Episode 13 of The WISDOM podcast with Dorothy Ratusny
This is a story of gratitude. This is my story. I hope that in sharing it with you it inspires you to see the world through eyes of hope, love; and with forgiveness and acceptance of what is, and of course gratitude for the many blessings that life offers you as you choose to forgo the labels of right or wrong; good or bad and to instead consider each experience as important and of meaning. This will help you to find deeper significance and meaning in it this way.
This part is the story is the part of acceptance; of allowing for what has already happened; without blame and finger pointing; without the need to have answers, but instead to seek to understand from a perspective of what choices you now have as you comprehend what is most important now.
I chose to hold gratitude for what I had control over; that is what I would be able to do from that moment forward. I chose to heal completely; to have gratitude for my life and for being here; and for choosing to experience what my life is now; as important and meaningful. I chose to learn from this experience; to decide what I was being shown to look at and change; to be the best version of myself possible.
My life has forever changed since this story; everything has been for the better; to remind myself that the life I lived up until that moment was no longer the same life. When we focus only on what is in front of us, we can lose sight of what we are still manifesting and we become distracted and discouraged.
As I took each step forward, there were many opportunities to be grateful. Gratitude reminds us of what good we can pay attention to that we might otherwise take for granted. Without gratitude there can be a tendency to wallow, to disapprove, to be a victim. This does not help your capacity for what is most wanted.
