Grateful for greatness.......

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."  ~ Nelson Mandela

Let’s spend as many moments as we can every day this month being grateful for all the good that is in our lives. If you have little in your life now, it will increase. If you have an abundance in your life now, it will increase. This is a win-win situation. You are happy, and the Universe is happy. Gratitude increases your abundance. What you think about you believe and what you believe you can achieve, think about love, love for family, love for pets, love for hobbies, love is a powerful tool.

Earlier this year my mum and I started our appreciation journal, we both found things to appreciate and would write it down, we found little things to be grateful for, at first it was funny, I appreciate a good smile, but then we really had to think about it, we even shared them with one another  (although her answers were always us kids J. Try it for yourself, you may not be able to do 365 days of appreciation but weekly, or fortnightly, just start somewhere.

Write something to be grateful about each day. On a daily basis, tell someone how grateful you are for something. Tell the shop assistant at coles, or your waiters, employers and employees, friends, family, and perfect strangers. Share the gratitude secret. Let’s help make this a world of grateful, thankful, giving and receiving…for everyone!

Remember, the heart works in two ways. As I have said before, you not only give it out, but you get it back. Let the love come in. Let yourself feel full. Move it in your mind, from heart to heart, from hand to hand. As it goes ’round and ’round and ’round, feel this circle of love.

Today I appreciate – LIFE – an honest, compassionate, caring, LIFE!

Let’s affirm: I look forward to each day. I am grateful for each moment.
