Be grateful for all your experiences as you were growing up, whether in the country or the city.
Each day is a wonderful journey of discovery for a child, a day of adventure, discovering what is in the wide world. Sure there may have been chores, however there was time to explore the world and all it offered, shaping the life you live now.
Be grateful for parents, family, friends, teachers and mentors, all of whom influence or shape who you are today.
It is both humbling and inspiring to experience your humanness with all its imperfections and magnificence.
Be grateful for your life, what has been, is now and is to come – with all its possibilities.
Celebrate, because gratitude when expressed out loud and often is a very powerful force.
It opens up the ‘heart’ space, broadens your thinking and your self-awareness.
Get courageous and practice gratitude daily so that you do and have all that you are meant to be. Remember to say thank you, often. You are truly blessed.
