Appreciation Quotes

    “Gratitude isn’t just a feeling, it’s an action. Expressing gratitude by writing in a journal, taking a photo, or shooting a video creates a lasting impression that can bring more gratitude into the world—for children and adults.” ~ Janice Kaplan, Greater Good in Action

      “Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” ~ Marianne Williamson

        “You cut yourself off from the supply of awesomeness when you are not in a state of gratitude.” ~ Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

          “When we get so wrapped up in our heads, we miss out on what’s available to us right now in the moment.  Stop and notice how you feel right now.  Feel your breath moving in and out of your body.  Feel the air on your skin.  Feel your heart beating.  Your eyes seeing.  Your ears hearing.  Notice the energy inside and outside of you buzzing.  Shut off your thoughts and feel your connection to Source.  B-r-e-a-t-h-e.  Even if you’ve got bone-chilling credit card debts or you haven’t spoken to your mother in six years, right now, in this moment, you can find peace and joy in that which simply is.” ~ Jen Sincero, You Are a Badass

          If a little is good, more is better. Or is it?

            If a little is good, more is better. Or is it?

            Picture Quote Text:

            “There is a popular heresy abroad today which states that if a little is good, more is better.  Following this dictum creates a life which is never fulfilling.  Even while you are engaged in one rich experience you are looking about for another.  There is no contentment because future plans are always intruding on the present.” ~ Robert A. Johnson, She

              “Happiness comes from appreciating what’s in front of you, not wishing you were doing something else. You find out what life is about by paying closer attention to it, not wishing you were living a fantasy.  We don’t need to be better than anyone else: we just need to love where we are and what we’re doing and who we are. That’s what matters.” ~ Leo Babauta, Zen Habits

                “Walking around a slum in a third world country quickly puts into perspective what really matters in life. It grounds you in a way that you can’t experience without getting out of your bubble at home.” ~ Katherine Schwarzenegger

                  “Remember you will die. Maybe even today. Don’t forget that. Don’t forget to be thankful for your health. For the ability to walk. For the time you get to spend with the person you love. For your siblings. For whatever it is that you have today. It’s not yours, it can be stolen away at any moment. So while you have it on loan, cherish it.” ~ Nick Crocker, Medium

                    “When you suffer, you can look deeply at your situation and find the many blessings that are already surrounding you. It is wonderful to sit with a pen and paper and write down all the conditions for happiness that are already there, already available to you right in this moment.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh, Savor
