Previous post continued...

There was a movie put out in 2006 called "The Secret" and I think I'll see if I can find it and view it.  I did find the e-book for my nook at http://bn.com.

Anyway, onward and forward...

 "All that we are is a result of what we have thought" - Buddha

What can you do right now to turn your life around?? Gratitude
 

Gratitude will bring more into our lives immediately

What we think about and THANK about is what we bring about

What are the things you are grateful for?? Feel the gratitude..
focus on what you have right now that you are grateful for


These quotes come from the book "The Secret". 

I included that quote from Buddha because it is an interesting thought.  Imagine if we changed the way we thought and what we thought about when we were younger.  If that quote is true, then I would be in a much different place.  Meaning, materially I would be much better off.  But it's NOT too late to change our thoughts and our lives.

How many of us give thanks on a routine basis?  I know I don't.  I am starting that train as of last night (2/28) and I already know that when I give thanks for the things I have and the things that I don't have, AND the things I will have, it changes my attitude about what's going on in my life.  I feel happier and more peaceful about everything.  By giving thanks, we begin to feel positive about things. 

I am grateful for my family, for my house, for my pets, for my job, my cars, my bank accounts and the ability to help others when it's needed.  It makes me happy to be thankful.  I will continue to give thanks for all that I have and will have and I know I'll be happier and more at peace with my life rather than trying to swim upstream by just reacting to situations and bemoaning my life.

By the way, giving thanks is also a great way to shift your perspective on things, but then I mentioned that in a previous post. 

Enjoy everybody and have a great day and don't forget to give thanks for that great day.
