“A grateful soul
attracts calmness, compassion,
and the kind of happiness that lasts.”
Gratitude can transform a person’s life.
Being grateful
for what and who we have in our lives
‘settles’ our minds,
and gives us a real sense
of belonging and feeling loved.
This encourages
a calmness
that we need in this world.
This motivates us to have the kind of happiness that will last.
This motivates us to have compassion.
Gratitude is a virtue
which cultivates a ripple effect
into the community,
which can only promote peace.
This is also a powerful tool
when facing today’s challenges.
A mind that is grateful
is a positive mind
which is a powerful ‘quality’
to have in today’s world.
This gives us
a deeper purpose in life.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

🌼Do keep writing; this was a powerful piece and very much needed in this climate of selfishness. 🌼Your use of Anaphora here was very effective: "This motivates us to have the kind of happiness that will last... This motivates us to have compassion". With this repetition, you have locked the reader into the solution. Great work, Ruth. 🤗🌼
