Thankful vs. Gratitude

(Click the title to link to the blog I found this at...)

In searching for some images about being thankful I found this, and I liked it. It's exactly the attitude that I'm working on changing to.

Being thankful is to acknowledge the contributions of others. While, thankfulness represents an understanding of such contributions, it does not necessarily represent a deep, heartfelt embrace of the contributions.

Having gratitude is to really feel and embrace the contributions of others and the power of the universe in your life. Gratitude moves the intellectual acknowledgment of being thankful to a deep feeling representing the intersection of intellect and soul.

So, there you have it … a quick look at the distinction between gratitude and thankfulness. We’d love to know what you think about this distinction and how it shows up in your life.
