"Gratitude is the thief of joy." I heard this phrase very early on in my life, and it was my first real lesson into why gratitude is such an important practice. I always say that gratitude is life's greatest teacher, and I stand by that because it taught me so much about having an abundance mindset and appreciating what I have in the present. It has taught me that my life is never lacking, because whatever I have in the present is only what I need in this moment.
Happy listening!
