“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and to give thanks continuously.”
The “Secret Second Half” of the video quote above reveals more about why Emerson thought an attitude of gratitude was important enough to write and talk about. Emerson went on to say this about Gratitude as well…
“And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”
Emerson was expressing and stressing that living in a constant state of Gratitude is not only possible, it is the only stance that is appropriate. When you come to believe, as Emerson did, that the “bad” things you are NOT grateful have actually helped you to become a better person, then you realize nothing is “bad” at all. From that position, Gratitude is the only logical state of being to have at all times.
