Gratitude

No matter how organized we are, how neatly our schedules are planned, or how determined our goals may be, life has a way of throwing little hurdles along our path. Sometimes they arrive as small bumps, other times as great, unexpected obstacles that test both our patience and our perseverance. It is in these moments when plans unravel and distractions steal our focus that optimism and persistence become our compass.

Compassion and gratitude are two essential virtues that can positively improve your life. If you take steps to learn to be compassionate, you will see the appreciation of your thoughtfulness. It will resonate with the person you had compassion towards.
