Accept nothing, inwardly, for yourself, but offer everything to God. Don’t let yourself be bought by others’ kindnesses. Be grateful to them above all in your soul, by blessing or praying for them. Give gratitude first of all to God, from Whom alone all blessings truly come.
—Swami Kriyananda on Gratitude

My Name is Gratitude

I rarely tell anyone with a drinking or a drug problem about my experience. I have seen how terribly difficult it is for them to quit. I want to help; I love them for their courage, but they need inspiration that is within their reach: something as close, as tangible, and as obtainable as the substances and the mental state they crave.
