We think we have to do something to be grateful or something has to be done in order for us to be grateful, when gratitude is a state of being.

One of the greatest challenges in creating a joyful, peaceful and abundant life is taking responsibility for what you do and how you do it. As long as you can blame someone else, be angry with someone else, point the finger at someone else, you are not taking responsibility for your life.
