The Importance of Appreciation

Can you even feel appreciation for the hard times, for the challenges, for the things that got you down at the time because you know that it was life guiding you and making you stronger? Good. Breathe in deep now through your nose and letting it out and making the sound of complete appreciation. What is that? Making the gesture, maybe even raising your hands above your head or bringing your hands together, whatever it is for you, feeling a sense of profound appreciation and gratitude.
