In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation on the practice of gratitude with my good friend Brandon Tumblin; which comes from the Paradoxically Speaking podcast. Throughout the conversation, Brandon and I discuss the difference between gratitude and being grateful and, ultimately, how to avoid taking things for granted. Now as many of you know, the wisdom (or practice) of being grateful appears across wisdom traditions. Although philosophical and spiritual traditions often speak of gratitude in slightly different ways than we do in modern culture. Take this quote from the Benedictine monk Brother David Steindl-Rast, "You think this is just another day in your life. It’s not just another day; it’s the one day. It’s the one day that is given to you today. It’s a gift. It’s the only gift you have right now — and the only appropriate response is gratefulness."
***If you’d like to hear more casual conversations like this one and gain access to our daily meditations on the art of living.
