GratitudeAlways maintain only a joyful mind. Constantly apply cheerfulness, if for no other reason than because you are on this spiritual path. Have a sense of gratitude to everything, even difficult emotions, because of their potential to wake you up. Excerpted from:The Compassion Book by Pema Chödrön, pages 42–43
