“I'm grateful when stories come in a rush, although I keep an eye on them afterwards, to see whether they hold together. It's harder to judge the ones that took so long to finish. With those, I've lost perspective. Mostly I'm just glad that I can be done with them.” LongI CanDoneStoriesEyeTogetherLostJudgingPerspectiveHarderGratefulGlad Author:Kelly Link

“When we're being grateful it means that we're acknowledging that life is a gift, that life is a blessing, that this body is only here for a short period of time and it really shifts the whole internal landscape of the mind and it puts things into perspective and it allows us to get our bearings. To get a firm footing in what's real, and then go from there.” MindMeanRealWholeBodyLife IsPerspectivePeriodsBlessingGratefulLandscapeFirmInternalsBe GratefulLife Is A Gift Author:MC Yogi
“Remember, whatever you focus upon, increases...When you focus on the things you need, you'll find those needs increasing. If you concentrate your thoughts on what you don't have, you will soon be concentrating on other things that you had forgotten you don't have-and feel worse!

“Antisthenes used to say that envious people were devoured by their own disposition, just as iron is by rust. Envy of others comes from comparing what they have with what the envious person has, rather than the envious person realising they have more than what they could have and certainly more than some others and being grateful. It is really just an inability to get a correct perspective on their lives.” PeoplePersonsUsedPerspectiveGratitudeGratefulEnvyCompareIronRealisingBe GratefulDispositionInabilityEnviousRust Author:Diogenes
“In the light of his vision that is the perspective that allows him to be grateful that things are not worse he has found his freedom and joy: his thoughts are peace, his words are peace and his work is peace.” LightJoyFoundVisionPerspectiveGratitudeGratefulBe Grateful Author:Gautama Buddha
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. It can be argued that peace and happiness comes from the subjective internalised perspective of realizing things could be worse and being grateful they aren't. The alternative view that peace and happiness comes from the objective external perspective of having more and better things than at present, while important for growth, can be a never-ending source of jealousy, dissatisfaction and disappointment. A balance of the two, where people are grateful for what they have while striving for more seems the best blended perspective.” PeopleTwoImportantSeemsGrowthRealizingViewsSourcePerspectiveBalanceGratitudeGratefulStriveDisappointmentObjectivesAlternativesBe GratefulSubjectiveDissatisfactionNever EndingPeace And Happiness Author:Gautama Buddha
