It's having the courage to choose joy over fear.

We could wallow in the woes of the world or dance with its gifts!

This doesn't mean apathy, it means having faith to enjoy and have gratitude that joy in the heart is a gift all have potential to achieve regardless of external factors.

Real joy cannot be known by comparing our blessings in a "we're so lucky billions are poor" attitude. 

True gratitude comes from seeing that all are beyond the trappings of the ego mind are in truth as full of the spark of perfect life as any manifestation of consciousness.

Gratitude of this nature is a step towards realizing the reality of our being.

Give thanks and praise for our light can shine and be reflected back in the world we see!
