Learn To Look At Things With Gratitude

Your mind has become a dead pattern that is constantly repeating 'what next'.

When you are able to look at things with a wonder-filled attitude, with awe, it fills you with such gratitude and fulfillment because you are not questioning at that point in time. You are not allowing your mind to play at all. You are simply resonating with your heart. It is then that you become a child, and when you become a child, nothing is mundane, everything is wondrous!

That is why children are so beautiful to look at. Their mind is not dead; their mind is fresh and flowing. Society has not yet conditioned their minds with the familiar patterns.

Learn to look at everything with gratitude and awe. Take your own body for example. Just try this small exercise now: Sit down and close your eyes. Just visualize that your little finger on the right hand is cut in a minor accident. Imagine now that your little finger is only three fourths of its original size. There is no other deformity in your body that you know of. You have a perfect body. Suddenly, only your little finger is cut.
