An Attitude of Gratitude

Wellness Lifestyle

The German theologian, Meister Eckhart, once said, “If the only prayer you said in your whole life was ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” Dr. John Demartini has said that the most powerful prayer is not a prayer of “I need a change in…” but a prayer of “thankfulness for what is, as it is.” Taken for face value, both of these quotes could seem overly spiritual or religious and your instinct may be to dismiss them; but research is proving that the very attitudes reflected in these quotes could have a positive effect on those who consider them. An “Attitude of Gratitude” has become more than just a catchphrase; it is proving to be a recommendation for wellness.
