Blissful Ignorance

One might think that focusing on what we’re grateful means ignoring all the 'terrible things' in the world so we can selfishly live in blissful ignorance. But feeling grateful in the face of hardship and suffering isn't for the faint of heart. Healthy gratitude requires strength and resolve and necessitates a deep awareness that yin and yang are present in all life. Our thoughts are powerfully creative. Because our well-being is intimately connected with how effective we are at anything, training the narrative in our minds to reflect gratitude might just be... 

The best trick of all.
