Brother David Steindl-Rast: Want to be happy? Be grateful

This is an inspiring talk from Brother David Steindl-Rast who I quoted and whose voice narrated the Louis Schwartzberg video, from posts in the first week of July.

“We can be grateful in every given moment for the opportunity…that is given to us”

“If you’re grateful, you act out of a sense of ‘enough’ and not of a sense of scarcity, and you are willing to share”

 “A grateful world is a joyful world”

The one thing all humans have in common is that each of us wants to be happy, says Brother David Steindl-Rast, a monk and interfaith scholar. And happiness, he suggests, is born from gratitude. An inspiring lesson in slowing down, looking where you’re going, and above all, being grateful.
