“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” Melody Beattie.
Like most humans, I’m almost always in a hurry to get things done. Reach my goals. Build the life I want. Change the world in one way or another.
Unfortunately, this leaves little or no time to reflect and be grateful for the things I have. This week, I made a conscious decision to stop and be grateful for the following things:
Life
Most days I’m sure I take life for granted. As I reflected on it, I remembered friends, acquaintances and even family whose lives ended too soon. I’m not guaranteed next month, next week, or even tomorrow, and I’m grateful for the life I have and those who surround me.
Opportunities
I have a business I love, family who loves me, I know not everyone has the same opportunities, and I’m forever grateful for it.
The journey
I’ve had great days and really great days! At the same time, I’ve had days when I felt like I’ve had enough. I am grateful that the hard times taught me to be resilient and bounce back.
I’d love to hear what you are grateful for! Share in the comments!
