Being gratful all the time isn't easy. 

Gratitude can transform any situation.

Instead of being frustrated, you choose appreciation. And the more grateful you become, the more you have to be grateful for.

Whenever you're going through, you will do just that: go through it. It will pass. So say thank-you now. Because you know the rainbow is coming.(9p)

 

항상 감사한 마음을 갖는 건 쉽지 않아요. 그렇지만 감사함은 어떤 상황이든 바꿔줄 수 있어요. 

힘든 순간은 지나가고, 무지개가 뜰 거라는 걸... 

 

이 부분을 읽는데 레인보우란 노래가 떠올랐어요. 맑고 청아한 Kacey Musgraves의 목소리로 들어보세요.

"That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head"

네 머리 위에는 항상 무지개가 떠 있었다고 얘기해줘요. 들으면 힐링되는 노래에요.

This is the body you've been given - love what you've got.(82p)

I live in the space of thankfulness - and for that, I have been rewarded a million times over. I started out giving thanks for small things, and the more thankful I became, the more my bounty increased. That's because - for sure - what you focus on expands. When you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it.(84p)

 인생에서 중요한 것이 '감사'라는 걸 알면서도 종종 잊어버리곤 해요. 그리고 그 감사함이 익숙해져서 처음의 그 감사한 마음이 아닌 당연한 것으로 여기기도 하고요. 오늘 하루는 일상의 순간순간들에 감사한 마음을 담아 보아요.
