Summary

This quote implies the importance of being aware of and grateful for the blessings and kindness we receive in our lives. By keeping our eyes open to our mercies, we remain mindful of the positive aspects and experiences that enrich our existence.

Hence, being thankful and appreciative is emphasized as a vital aspect of living fully and awake in life.
