Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.
Forget yesterday--it has already forgotten you. Don't sweat tomorrow--you haven't even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift--today.
We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.
In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.
The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.
I truly believe we can either see the connections, celebrate them, and express gratitude for our blessings, or we can see life as a string of coincidences that have no meaning or connection. For me, I'm going to believe in miracles, celebrate life, rejoice in the views of eternity, and hope my choices will create a positive ripple effect in the lives of others. This is my choice.
Gratitude also opens your eyes to the limitless potential of the universe, while dissatisfaction closes your eyes to it.
Gratitude and attitude are not challenges; they are choices.
They both seemed to understand that describing it was beyond their powers, the gratitude that spreads through your body when a burden gets lifted, and the sense of homecoming that follows, when you suddenly remember what it feels like to be yourself.
Gratitude is more of a compliment to yourself than someone else.
Keep your eyes open and try to catch people in your company doing something right, then praise them for it.
In life, one has a choice to take one of two paths: to wait for some special day--or to celebrate each special day.
This a wonderful day. I've never seen this one before.
Get mocked at for as much as you can, fail as much as you can, but don't quit. Let every mockery, every failure, be a source of inspiration for you to reach for greatness, and that greatness will silence your critics.
Never be ashamed! There's some who will hold it against you, but they are not worth bothering with.
Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you are generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes, your best investments are the ones you don't make.
Like success, failure is many things to many people. With positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, and a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again.
Press on. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.
Be undeniably good. No marketing effort or social media buzzword can be a substitute for that.
