Equanimity & Gratitude

By Nora D'Ecclesis

I am thankful for....On a daily basis begin to think of every good thing someone you met along the way has done for you or others. Feel the gratitude for those acts of kindness deep in your heart.Take an introspective journey with me and commit to a weekly gratitude journal. The format of this book is to give the reader a few starting ideas on how and why to keep a gratitude log and then to personalize it. Gratitude enables us to embrace equanimity which is, in simple terms, a more balanced life. Identifying and deconstructing our fears is vital to enjoying happier, more satisfying lives. To do this requires a systematic approach to examining questions that have been asked by philosophers since ancient times. Some of the questions we ask ourselves in this pursuit include: Why am I here on earth? How can I live a happier, calmer life? What is the meaning of my existence? How can I deal with others in a more ethical way? Working toward answers to these questions does not require a thorough knowledge of the history of philosophy or the various thought systems of famous philosophers. It can be achieved by the introspective journaling of exactly what we are thankful for, in a gratitude diary crafted by the individual that encompasses the most significant aspects of their daily lives. Dealing with these questions makes us all philosophers.
