I am a firm believer in having a personal gratitude practice. Ideally, I try to spend a few minutes every day reflecting on what I’m grateful for in my life. But to be honest, I find that I slip into a destructive form of complacency, all too often. Instead of being grateful that I have a car, I get upset on the day that the battery dies. Instead of being grateful for the abundance of choices at my local grocery store, I’m annoyed when something I want is out of stock.

I think most of us, especially in the Western world, can slip into this form of entitlement all too easily. When I find myself being too negative, taking the gifts in my life for granted, I watch this video. It’s an elegant and beautiful meditation on gratitude. It’s just over six minutes, and well worth the time to watch.
