Cultivating Appreciation (KB)






How many of us appreciate that every day that we wake up is a miracle? We don’t have to wake up; there are a lot of people that don’t. We generally don’t see things that way, though. Indeed, in our mind, it is normal, not a miracle, for us to wake up.

I remember how a great person once said to me, “I wish that everyone in the world would get sick for one day in their life.” Why? Because that is the way a person comes to appreciate health.

We, as human beings, live in a space called the "Desire to Receive.” We live in a place that says, “As long as I am getting something, then everything is OK.” So all too often, we take the commonplace things—like waking up—for granted.

Today, remember to appreciate the fact that YOU have been given a wonderful gift today.
