17. Gratitude
“We are the architects of our reality.”When Life Hurts: The Gratitude Myth tells us that the more gratitude we show for the little things, the better our lives will be become. While there are benefits to positive thinking, we can’t think ourselves into a new reality. Rather, we must first be able to acknowledge all of our hurts, wounds, traumas and disappointments in order to heal our hearts. Only then can we experience the new reality that gratitude promises us.
