Ego's elixir
“The more you become a connoisseur of gratitude, the less you are a victim of resentment, depression, and despair.
Gratitude will act as an elixir that will gradually dissolve the hard shell of your ego – your need to possess and control — and transform you into a generous being.
The sense of gratitude produces true spiritual alchemy, makes us magnanimous—large souled.”
That was Sam Keen. I completely agree with his sentiment.
Where ego is the enemy, gratitude is the elixir.
