28 Inspiring Gratitude Quotes That Will Transform Your Day

gratitude quotes

Inspiring gratitude quotes that are sure to help shift your perspective toward what’s already great about you life and elevate your spirits!

Would you love to experience greater ease, flow, and abundance in your life? If so, gratitude is the pathway that will take you there!

By practicing gratitude, we change our entire magnetic field and attract opportunities for greater abundance and joy into our lives.

In other posts you may have read here on my blog, I’ve discussed powerful truths about the benefits of meditation and how to practice gratitude during times of adversity.

But sometimes, we’re all in need of a little inspiration to help shift us into a gratitude-focused mindset that will hopefully stay with us throughout our day!

And it’s my pleasure to introduce, “Grateful: Happy, Healthy & Wealthy,” a free guided gratitude meditation available now!

And so, to help you do this, here are 28 of my favorite, most inspiring gratitude quotes that are sure to help shift your perspective toward what’s already great about you life, and elevate your spirits!

  1. “Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.” – Zig Ziglar
  2. “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” – Albert Einstein
    albert einstein miracle quote
  3. “At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” – Albert Schweitzer
  4. “In ordinary life, we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
  5. “This a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.” – Maya Angelou
  6. “When you give and carry out acts of kindness, it’s as though something inside your body responds and says, ‘Yes, this is how I ought to feel.” – Rabbi Harold Kushner
  7. “It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.” – Eckhart Tolle
  8. “Gratitude opens the door to…the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the universe. You open the door through gratitude.” – Deepak Chopra  deepak chopra gratitude quote
  9. “Gratitude is an opener of locked-up blessings.” – Marianne Williamson
  10. “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust
    marcel proust gratitude quote
  11. “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”  – Marcus Aurelius
  12. “Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
  13. “When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” – Kristin Armstrong
    kristin armstrong gratitude quote
  14. “To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.” – Victor Hugo
  15. “The struggle ends when gratitude begins.” – Neale Donald Walsch
  16. “My day begins and ends with gratitude.” – Louise Hay
  17. “Do not resent your place in the story. Do not imagine yourself elsewhere. Do not close your eyes and picture a world without thorns, without shadows, without hawks. Change this world. Use your body like a tool meant to be used up, discarded, and replaced. Better every life you touch. We will reach the final chapter.” – ND Wilson
  18. “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.” – Cicero
    cicero gratitude quote
  19. “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” – William Arthur Ward
  20. “If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” – Eckhart Tolle
  21. “For your heart is like a flower as it grows, and it’s the rain, not just the sun that helps it bloom.” – Charles Fink
  22. “The honey doesn’t taste so good once it is being eaten; the goal doesn’t mean so much once it is reached; the reward is no so rewarding once it has been given. If we add up all the rewards in our lives, we won’t have very much. But if we add up the spaces between the rewards, we’ll come up with quite a bit. And if we add up the rewards and the spaces, then we’ll have everything – every minute of the time that we spent.” – Benjamin Hoff
  23. “Gratitude leads to greatness. It can literally turn what you have into more than enough, jobs into joy, chaos into order, uncertainty into clarity, and bring peace to an otherwise chaotic day.” – Marc Chernoff
  24. “He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.” – Epictetus
  25. “All that we behold is full of blessings.” – William Wordsworth
    william wordsworth blessings quote
  26. “Often people ask how I manage to be happy despite having no arms and no legs. The quick answer is that I have a choice. I can be angry about not having limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a purpose. I choose gratitude.” – Nick Vujicic
  27. “Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.” – Alphonse Karr
  28. “Gratitude puts us in harmony with the very source that’s breathing us, the very power that gives us life.” – Mary Morrissey

And that is the Power of Gratitude

Notice that the common thread in all of the above gratitude quotes, from all these different great thinkers, is that practicing gratitude increases abundance, internal peace and happiness, and decreases suffering.

And remember: Gratitude is a practice — here’s my 30+ years morning gratitude practice — one each of us can aim to focus on and bring more of into our lives on a daily basis!

By being grateful for what we have in this life, we will attract more of what we want, and will become the best versions of ourselves.

And now, one last thing…I have a gift for YOU!

    Thank you, Mary. I’m grateful for many people in my life including you Mary. Especially for people like you cause I have a very close to me person who is living hell.
    I pray for her sometimes, and I think it helps little, but her furies are keep coming back.
    Because of her, I’m even more thankful to God for His peace and presence in my life.

    I am a burst brain aneurysm grade 4 SAH survivor who spent a month in a coma and another in hospital. Out of 30,000 cases I’m one of the few who lived to talk about it. I am grateful for every day I see the sun rise and all that comes my way. Some of these quotes are outstanding. Do good people. It matters. Thank you for sharing

I will keep it simple and express my gratitude for quotations of all kinds, the people who expressed them originally and the people that have recorded them so that they can be shared. They can spark life back into us,. Thank you for the loving miracle that you are, Mary!
