To Be Thankful

On our path we need to learn to be thankful for all things that come to teach us, both good and bad, once we do we will experience the Joy that we have always had.

This is the secret a Swami from India told me about. And he told me he was planting a seed in all of our Hearts, that would blossom and grow, that one day we would be thankful for all things that come our way to teach us, and that we would be just as thankful for the sad and difficult things, as we are for the good things. And once the ancestors whispered to me just a few weeks ago that at the end when we make it to our success in this life, you won't be able to tell which contributed that success more, your failures or your successes, your strengths or your weaknesses, these all contribute to this you that you will be, and to this You that you are right Now. How could it be any other way, than this way that you have come.  Than this Self you are Becoming, a shining beacon of Hope out on a Sea of Worry and Fear, so many dashing against the rocks, but you rise above and say, come and follow me to a safe shore.
