It’s not yours until you are thankful for it.
Whether it’s a gift from a friend, a relationship you treasure, or just your health, you cannot “own” something until you say “thank you” for it. Once you do, you are saying that you treasure it and will take care of it. Until that time, it can never be truly yours.
Give thanks for as much as you can (especially if it feels difficult to find something to be grateful for). Besides, it tells the universe you’re ready for more.
Make sure to share your gratitude.
(By the way, it’s impossible to feel sad and grateful at the same time.)
