In practice
During a motivational speech on personal growth, one could mention this quote to inspire the audience to embrace their true selves.
Be grateful for what you do have, and you will find it increases. I like to bless with love all that is in my life right now-my home, the heat, water, light, telephone, furniture, plumbing, appliances, clothing, transportation, jobs-the money I do have, friends, my ability to see and feel and taste and touch and walk and to enjoy this incredible planet.
Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of gratitude. I now allow this gratitude to fill my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being. This gratitude radiates out from me in all directions, touching everything in my world, and returns to me as more to be grateful for. The more gratitude I feel, the more I am aware that the supply is endless.

The best way out is always through.
We become so caught up in the busyness of our lives. Were we to step back, however, and take a good look at what weβre doing, we may find that we have immersed ourselves in the βthick of thin things.β In other words, too often we spend most of our time taking care of the things which do not really matter much at all in the grand scheme of things, neglecting those more important causes.
This is the key to time management - to see the value of every moment.
Be like a flower that gives its fragrance even to the hand that crushed it.
