“For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
Happy Monday Everyone! Hope you had a fantastic weekend and are ready for an even better week!
Where is the best place to start when you’re going through hard times in life? I’ve been asked this question many times and the best answer I know how to give is simply, Start with Gratitude! Being thankful for the things you do have in life is without a doubt the fastest way to bring more of those things into your life. And if you perceive things to be so bad that you can’t even see the good in your life, then make sure you get thankful for all the bad things in life that you don’t want and that you don’t have.
I know it doesn’t always feel like it but we are truly blessed beings. I can’t speak to your specific life circumstance but I bet you wouldn’t trade your life with the mother who watched her children go to sleep starving last night. I’m sure if you had a choice between you and the guy who woke up this morning in jail for a crime he didn’t even commit, you’d choose you. You see our circumstances are never as bleak as we sometimes make them out to be and Gratitude is the light that brings this level of clarity back into focus. When you begin to look at your life through the lens of Gratitude you start to see that life is filled with things to be Grateful for. Just be on the lookout and show your appreciation throughout the process!
Lets fill this week with things to be Grateful for! GO Gratitude!!!!
