An important thing we need to
understand is that desire and
gratitude can never co exist. When
you feel one desire after another, it
means that you not living with
gratitude. When you live with
gratitude, you can never have any
desires. When you live with gratitude,
whatever is given to you will simply
fulfill whatever next you need at the
moment, that all. Things are always
perfect when you function with
gratitude. Otherwise, things are
always lacking

Our ego always swallows everything and asks for more, the ego that prevents us from enjoying what is being showered upon us. Whether you want to base your life on asking or on gratitude is entirely up to you.
Gratitude is not some kind of morality that can be imposed on you from outside. It is an attitude that has to flower from within. When real gratitude happens it can transform your whole perception of life and bring lasting peace and joy for you.
The only way to have a live connection with reality is by dropping our conditioning, our ego breaking the wall we have built around our self. When we love, and are flowing and filled with gratitude. We will always have a sense of fulfillment, not because of any gains but because it has become our very being.
This fulfillment is the ultimate fulfillment that every man is seeking. The best way to become grateful is to learn to enjoy without a reason. Enjoy everything that you see, everything that you hear and everything you do. When we have real gratitude our body language can convey the state of gratitude. Instead of celebrating, we are all the time searching for more, searching for miracles.
Miracles are never done, they simply happen continuously around us. When you express gratitude we feel happy, compassionate and peaceful. Love connected with gratitude is complete trust. Discontentment cannot come from the heart. It is purely a product of mind.
We have to remember life itself is a gift for us. Everything becomes small to us when it is easily available. There are so many millions of people in this world who can't see, who can't hear, who can't talk, or taste. We never think of all these things. We are always thinking of what's more? What's better? What's next?
Until something comes to us it seems very precious and we remain in anxiety but the moment it comes, it loses its value and we move on. We always live with a 'what's next?' attitude.
We are unable to relate to gratitude because of this, we always feel that something that we don't have is as big as a mountain, without which we cannot survive, but when we actually get it, somehow it becomes too small a thing. This is how we miss the wonderful attitude of gratitude in our live.
