A person is wise when he doesn't long for the things he doesn't have but is instead thankful for those things he does have.
Gratefulness for what you do have opens the doors to more.
Gratitude connects us with the Power that gives and sustains life, and the closer we live to this Source of all wealth, the more wealth we shall receive.
The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best; therefore it tends to become the best; it takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best.
The soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than the one which never looks to Him in thankful acknowledgement.
