Gratitude & Complacency

I could have not explained this better.  Being grateful for the circumstances you are in is NOT an invitation to complacency, rather quite opposite.  Being grateful is your platform to reach and create greater experiences in your life.  Last week's blog was all about seeing "the gifts" when struck with challenges.  It is exactly  being grateful for those gifts which helps us grow.  Being grateful is an active process of learning the life lesson, embracing the message and creating greater experience (s).  Being an active process requires mindfulness and willingness to face the situation/circumstance at hand.  Simply stated, living a grateful life is a mindset shift not ever stuck in neutral.
