About This Quote

Gratitude is a beautiful but often neglected virtue. When we stop and think about all the blessing in our lives, we can become overwhelmed with the amount of gratitude we should feel for them. Sometimes, when we are overwhelmed by blessings, we believe that it is enough to simply feel grateful. However, when we truly feel grateful, it cannot just be about feeling thankful. It must also be about taking action because when you do something out of gratitude, you will experience a deeper level of joy and fulfillment.
