The discovery that spiritual principles can solve all my problems is important, but vital is the discovery that all spiritual principles are found in an attitude of gratitude...an attitude of gratitude writ tiny. We must search for it, seek it to the exclusion of all else (meaning our reasoning mind's resistance). It is that attitude of gratitude that transmutes all our problems.
Upon hearing that spiritual principles can solve all our problems, the reasoning mind usually leaps to all we have lost...a job, a spouse, a child, an endless list each worse than the first. No, spiritual principles cannot bring anything back...gone is gone...but gratitude is the sliver of gold we need find in our loss.
That is life...lose a little, gain a little. But whoever had to work to upgrade their attitude when life was going their way...looking good, sounding better, smelling like roses...oh my! Those form the yellow brick road that we walk on the way to happy, joyous and free.
It's the gutters of gloom on each side of that road that teach us to stay in the middle, and when, not if, we fall off into the gloom, to turn to gratitude to climb up and out. Ah, there it is. Gratitude in the hand of God reaching out to pull us up is the grace that turns the gloom into gold.

Upgrade our attitude upgrades our problem.
Thank you.
