Everyone has a calling, a purpose – to discover why we’re here, and then once discovered, the responsibility to move forward with this knowledge and go about doing what it is we’re supposed to do. When we can bridge the differences between us and we allow ourselves to appreciate each moment, we can find hope. Our thoughts can guide us to a peaceful place when we are grateful for what we have. Gratitude can dispel fear.
We can recall special moments of gratitude when we rejoiced with bride and groom or dined and laughed with friends or sat together in rooms filled with strangers and shared inspirational music or theater, or lectures and afterwards, strangers greeted each other with smiles, even tears in our eyes and the good feelings brought us together.
