Today’s meditation shows us how expressing gratitude easily leads to empathy. We all know that to be spiritual we are supposed to be compassionate, but with all the negativity and injustice we see around us, it’s easy for our ego to feel justified in judgment and criticism.

However, when you find reasons to be grateful for someone, you are bridging the gap between the two of you. You can’t be thankful and fun at the same time.

That connection you feel when you’re grateful is your common humanity, it’s the foundation of empathy. A kind heart is an acceptance and forgiveness not only for others but for yourself as well.

“We are all of one light on this one Earth, and loving humanity makes all the difference.”
