The Little Things Count: Gratitude for Random Kindnesses

The driving principle behind the White Light Express is "The Power of Positive Focused Intention."

This is really a multi-faceted concept, including mindfulness, goal setting, focus, and also gratitude.

Gratitude is very important because when you approach life from a state of gratefulness, it is much easier to stay positive. You tend to focus on what is good, and the potential... as opposed to feeling frustration — and even anger — at what is not.

Part of the reason for this post is specifically to express gratitude to several people who left very generous upvotes on one of our recent posts.

Thank you! Bless You!

And don't think for a moment it was not noticed and appreciated.

This also brings up the important point that gratitude is a practice.

And it begins with simple mindfulness. For example, we are a charity; a non-profit organization. We depend on donations and the kindness of others. It's easy enough to be grateful when gifts are obvious and presented directly. But not all contributions are presented directly.

Like the previously mentioned upvotes... they are the online equivalent of someone anonymously leaving a basket of food at the homeless shelter; you might not notice the contribution till you suddenly realize there is more food in the pantry than you remembered.

When things like that happen, make it a practice to pause and reflect in a moment of gratitude!

Bright Blessings to everyone!

You are not alone!
