Gratitude Letter Year 2024
Have we been thankful for what we have, for another year went by?
Most important is not what we own but how we own ourselves, how we love ourselves, how we love others, and all the beautiful, playful moments that leave marks on our lives. Every new year, represents a new transformation, a new chapter with up’s and down’s for us to learn and keep growing. If it is with a life companion, when each one has found each other in the self-process of discovery and then together they can be intertwined with pure love without any heaviness of expectations, fulfilled with joy, laughter, and every truth. It is a reminder that reality is not about finding a perfect companion but rather seeking a partner who is brave enough to let themselves lose, just be authentic.
“These connections heal us, not by fixing what is broken but by showing us what it means to be whole.”
The appeal of intellectual challenges knows no bounds: without it, growth cannot be achieved, not even imagined. - LETTERS OF MINDFULNESS
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
Each year moves us forward to create a future, whether for one’s family, our loved one's or for a larger cause, it’s a matter of giving up certain things which do not hold those standards and concentrating on others that improve our accomplishments. All these developments have acted as a forge, shaping someone's character through life & adversity, at the end, changing how we think about challenges. The task may seem endless and with a heavy burden, but it has to be focused on something far more important than one’s own interests. And let us remember, these situations cannot be termed as barriers but rather opportunities which are worth taking.
How would our life feel like without relationships, without joy?
“We are made for cooperation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth. To act against one another is contrary to nature.”
In all the small moments spent with a life partner and loved one's we find not only solace though there is a discovery of comfort, peace, and emotional refuge. Longevity and better health is dependent on several factors, one of them is by having strong social connections, by being community-driven we bond with each other, have empathy and support instead of criticism that reprimands. Another of the factors is a sense of purpose, to hold as a life concept which translates to having a "reason to live" or "life purpose," that contributes to all of our mental and emotional well-being.
Which is your life purpose or reason to live? We have all made commitments to our goals at the end of the year, maybe we should focus on our purpose for that year. If you yet have no answer…
Live in service to others for the greatest accomplishments can be deeply enjoyed when in company. - LOM
“Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.”
