Gratitude bring freedom from envy
“Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul.” ― Amy Collette, The Gratitude Connection
It's a program you can run and it's one you ought to run on a regular basis! Being grateful allows us to not miss out on the unique opportunities life has given each of us.
On any given day, in only a few minutes, I can easily list a dozen things I am grateful for.
Gratitude counters aversion and generosity cuts through greed and envy (which are forms of self-destructive self-talk that do more harm to ourselves).
Daily Practice: Every morning write down several things you are grateful for. In the evening write a few lines about how generosity showed up spontaneously during the day. Take a picture of one thing (or person) each day you are grateful for. Upload the pictures to a gratitude folder on Flickr. You can create a personal gratitude book at the end of 30 days to create a potent resource to return to whenever you get into a funk.
Consider the days you are not feeling so grateful there is always something. You just need to look deeper. For example: Your birth, food, shelter and medical care, supportive relationships with others. Share your stories (and photos) of generosity and gratitude.
