Gratitude by Cecile Babs

Gratitude is the key to joy, happiness, well-being and health.

The word Health comes from Sanskrit“Shanti”in Hindi, which means Peace, and Gratitude is the royal way/voice to Peace.

Building a solid foundation of gratitude every day allows you to withstand life’s bad weather as much as possible.

Thanking Life for everything it gives you every day, from waking up in the morning and being alive, to the delicious little bird song you suddenly hear, or to the ray of sunshine coming to warm your skin, even for a few seconds, allows you to face with ease unpleasant events and make them insignificant.

I share with you this painting that I have just finished, which reflects my gratitude, and an excerpt of some thanks I make daily that may inspire you?

Gratitude and the year 2020

Three Alchemical symbols are present in this painting:


🍀
The lotus,which grows in the mud


🍀
The Pearl,which is initially a simple dust and which the shell transforms into pure beauty


🍀
The Butterfly,which stays “confined” for a long time before changing skin and turning into a magnificent creature

Whether you are in the worst situation, illness, bereavement, tragedy, try to remember daily all the blessings that have been given to you to date and that others have not been lucky enough to have.

Take all that Life gives you, without exception, even misfortunes. Take your time but accept them and seek the gift, and the teaching hidden behind the ordeal.
