📝 Summary
Instructor Lauren explains that gratitude is not just about saying thank you—it comes from realizing the countless blessings we’ve already received. When the mind is full of negative thoughts, comparisons, and desires, we become blind to what we already have.
Through meditation, we can clear away this mental noise and return to a pure, original mind. From this place, we naturally feel grateful—not just for the good moments, but even for the challenges that help us grow. Gratitude becomes our way of life.
