Today’s quote

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more…It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
~Melody Beattie

Nick Vujicic is often asked,
“How come you smile so much?”
He says, “It’s a long story.”

Today’s tip

Here we are at the end of another year. When reflecting back, how are you feeling about this past year? Are you feeling disappointed about what you did not accomplish? Do you have any regrets or hard feelings about anything or anyone?

Be aware of how you are feeling when only focusing on what went wrong during the year. Are you feeling stressed or anxious?

How about focusing on what did go right this year. Just like the radio stations play the “Top 40″ songs at the end of the year, let’s make a list of the “Top 40″ things you are grateful for this past year. Include everything; no matter how small the accomplishment. When focusing on the positive things, notice how you are feeling. Are you feeling more at peace and joyful?

As Melody Beattie said in her quote- “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.” It’s one of the secrets to true happiness.

I wish you and your family all the best for the New Year.

Today’s Quote –

“If you haven’t got all the things
you want, be grateful for the
things you don’t have that you
don’t want.”

~ Unknown

Today’s Empowering Tip –

It’s time again to empower yourself by being grateful.

Today’s quote shows how to be grateful by focusing on what you don’t have that you don’t want.

Are you grateful because:
- You don’ have a serious illness?
- You don’t have to worry about not having a safe place to sleep at night?
- Your belly is not grumbling due to a lack of food?

How appreciative are you of your basic necessities? Are you taking them for granted?

Let’s show our gratitude by taking this a step further and reaching out to someone less fortunate. Do an act of kindness by volunteering at a homeless shelter or donating food to a soup kitchen.

Take time to visit someone you know in a nursing home. Just ten minutes will make a difference in their life as well as yours.

Empower yourself today by being grateful!
