It’s fine to use gratitude to stave off negativity and feel good about my circumstances, but I believe that at its deepest level, gratitude is an offering to that flow that makes up all that is, and that is when it can be a life-changing practice: When it is an unconditional offering for every miserable lesson and glorious triumph I’ve chosen to experience. IMHO, this is the truest use of gratitude.
(But check back with me later, I may have a new “truest use,” haha!)
