Last weekend we visited an old friend of Joshua in Berlin. We had a great time and a lot of very inspiring conversations. For Joshua’s friend, the key to happiness is gratitude.

After Joshua was meditating the weeks before about love and understanding, he used the opportunity to go deeper into the art of gratitude. And really, already after a few days he can tell you: Life is much more happy, when you live gratitude.

But is it really the key to happiness? Is there any door that waits to be opened?

For sure life is beautiful and we just have to open our eyes to see all the little wonders around us. We just have to open our heart, to understand the people around us and react with love and understanding instead of with impatience and anger. And we can make this decision any time, with every step on our long way to paradise. Gratitude is for sure a gift of the universe that helps us to remember.
