I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. I am indeed a fortunate man and today’s hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I have departed?

 

I am thankful for the opportunities I have been given. I am thankful for the failures and setbacks which have made me stronger, and into the person I am today. I am thankful for all the support my friends and family give me.

 

I am thankful for my life, my memories, my experiences and the path ahead of me. I never dwell on what I desire – I am truly grateful for what I have.

~Based on the teachings of Og Mandino in The Greatest Salesman In The World

 

A person however learned and qualified in his life's work in whom gratitude is absent, is devoid of that beauty of character which makes personality fragrant.

If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.

We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.

~Thornton Wilder

 

A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
