Day 5: Gratitude Awakens the True Self

We might think that to live in grace requires us to purseue a devout lifestyle and retreat from the world. However, we have learned that grace abides in all things, all places and all times. If we go beyond our changing personalities to connect with our essential self, we contact this ever present grace and can live this state of grace even in the everyday world.

Our true self is peaceful, but not inert. It is intelligent, powerful and intimately involved in our every wish and dream. The true self has the creative power and intelligence to direct and manifest your life's journey. When you step into and participate with life from this level, you are always grateful and find grace everywhere.

Our centering thought for today is:

My true self is always grateful

"The road to happiness starts with a deep breath and an awareness of the many blessings tied to that single breath"

~ Richelle E. Goodrich
