William Arthur Ward Quotes

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.

When you start noticing even a small portion of all there is to be grateful for, you'll find there is no room for lack, hurt, or want. The attitude of gratitude: the great, full feeling.

We ain't got a lot, but we don't need anything. Covered in kisses, surrounded by love, showered with blessings from up above.

If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough.

The treasure we seek requires no lengthy expedition, no expensive equipment, no superior aptitude or special company. All we lack is the willingness to imagine that we already have everything we need. The only thing missing is our consent to be where we are.

Think of what you have rather than of what you lack. Of the things you have, select the best and then reflect how eagerly you would have sought them if you did not have them.

It is vital that people "count their blessings:" to appreciate what they possess without having to undergo its actual loss.

It is easy to forget how much you have, when your eyes are always fixed on what you have not.

Gratitude lifts our eyes off the things we lack so we might see the blessings we possess.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

If we do not feel grateful for what we already have, what makes us think we'd be happy with more.

I said to my wife just the other day, I was actually taking some time to consider all the blessings in my life and that things are really good. I said, you would have to be a real churl to complain about the life I'm living right now. Everything's going great. I'm having a good time.

The biggest lesson I've learned . . . was that if you have all the fresh water you want to drink and all the food you want to eat, you ought never to complain about anything.

We seldom speak of what we have but often of what we lack.

When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present ... we experience heaven on earth.

I am grateful for who I am and who I am not. I am grateful for the life I have been given and for all that I have and all that I don't. Every breath I take is a blessing and an opportunity to fully experience the sheer joy of being alive.

I do feel incredibly blessed in my life. I've been given amazing opportunities in my life and even when I'm tired, like right now, I try not to lose sight of all the blessings in my life. I'm enjoying it. It's what I've always dreamed of doing. I don't know if I'll ever get to the point in my life where I feel like 'I've made it'. But right now I'm happy with where things are at and hopefully it will continue to grow.

The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.

Never forget that all you have is all you need.

I don't I have everything I want; however, I have a lot and for that I am very grateful.

Happiness is knowing and appreciating what you've got. I am very, very, very grateful for what, to me, is dead easy.

To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.

I believe that if you reject and don't respect what you have now, that's ingratitude. I'm grateful for everything I have today.

Be grateful for the home you have, knowing that at this moment, all you have is all you need.

Sometimes the most happy people in life are the ones with nothing. We can't lose sight of the little things in life that should make us the happiest.
