The conscious leader practices gratitude.

She has seen that life, in the form of nature, does not look at what it has—or has lost—and judge it as being good or bad. The tree, the mountain, the animal—all continue to be at one with whatever they have, and leave behind what they have lost.

She sees that life is always abundant and that there is a gift in every situation, no matter how “bad” it seems at the time. Sometimes that gift is painful learning and growth, and then she is grateful for that

The conscious leader is therefore not grateful based on what she has, or despite what she has lost. She knows that such an approach is merely a pacifier for the mind. She seeks that state of being where she is simply at one with whatever happens, for that is the place that is in tune with life.

She doesn’t do gratitude for gain—for the hope of getting more things to be grateful for. She does it for its own sake, to be at one with nature and her own nature, to be at one with life, to be at peace, no matter what happens.

The conscious leader moves easily through life, because she does the hard work of embodying gratitude.
