soul alchemy

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 —Sam Keen

 “expectations are nothing more than resentments as yet unfulfilled.”
