Gratified Sessions

/ˈɡʌɪd(ə)ns/

noun

advice or information aimed at resolving a problem or difficulty, especially as given by someone in authority.

In life, we often seek things while negating the fact that we don't have a path that will ensure we attain what we want or desire. It is important that in those moments, we seek guidance from those who have walked through and forged their own paths before you. On this installment, we credit our gratitude to those who've carried us through everything and have acted as springboards in everything and anything we do. We show our gratitude to those have moved mountains in ways we don't appreciate enough, in order for us to walk a clear path.

imperfection

/ɪmpəˈfɛkʃ(ə)n/

noun

1. a fault, blemish, or undesirable feature.

We live day to day resenting a part of ourselves that makes us who we are, unbeknownst to us that these are the same things that make us beautiful. We chase perfection, thinking that we harness fault yet never give ourselves a platform to think about how there is no need to chase perfection, but rather nurture the imperfection as it is what makes us stand out within society.

Through this, we achieve self-awareness accompanied by self-love and confidence to be even greater. To that, we are grateful.

/ˈhapɪnəs/. noun. the state of being happy.

True happiness is an inner quality, a state of mind. This is the state of mind that manifests peace into your life. It allows one to immerse themselves in the full value of life and to process the rollercoaster it is with a clean and peaceful mind and soul. This month, we are grateful for the gift of happiness. The gift of creating it for ourselves but also sharing it with others - paying it forward. It's what keeps the world going at the end of the day.

/piːs/

freedom from disturbance; tranquillity.

Through the turmoil that we experience in this life, finding peace is something that is imperative. This is not to say that peace is found where there is no noise and turmoil. If anything, peace is found in the midst of all the pandemonium, in a place where your soul has found that tranquility. Protect your soul because it is your peace. Without it, we're on a path to deterioration. Prioritze yourself. Show up for yourself. Find solace in your own presence. Its the superpower we all need.

/lʌv/

an intense feeling of deep affection.

This month we are grateful for the love that we are afforded around us but also, our ability to love ourselves.

Love is a kind of feeling that creates meaning and depth to our lives like nothing else can. It is essential to love, whether it be loving the ones around you, accepting love from the ones around you or establishing a love for yourself as the capacity to do so is what gives life its greatest significance.

Where there is life, there is love and where there is love, there is life - which breeds happiness.

I hope you enjoy this one.
