Last night, I overheard Nathan mention that he was grateful for how his life is going. That got my mind wandering down paths about how important it is to be grateful. It sets you in a frame of mind to be accepting and happy. Karma opens opportunities you otherwise might have missed.
After writing the above, I looked up "grateful"...
The root word "grate" is an obsolete adjective that used to mean "agreeable, thankful, pleasing". It has the same Latin roots as "graceful and grace", which originally meant "God's favor or help".
People naturally want to help a grateful person.
A grateful person is naturally happier.
Life long accumulation of help and opportunities grows exponentially like compound interest.
To a student of life, it seems obvious that to achieve greatness, one must first achieve gratefulness.
