Recently, Ive been talking about the power of being thankful, or grateful. In fact, you may have heard me talk about taking time nightly to THINK and SEE about what I’m THANKFUL for —and urge you all to do the same. Here’s the problem, we ALL let LIFE get busier and overwhelm us. Heres what I noted I was THANKFUL for two weeks ago: 1. A run up down the boulevard with a breeze that kept me cool. 2. Eating outside at my favorite new Mexican (from scratch) restaurant while in Dallas. 3. A hilarious laugh in the car with my business partner (Jason) after dinner. ( We literally were crying we were laughing so hard.) 4. Ordering a new audio book. 5. A friend calling me to simply chat and catch up. Last night, when I came across these notes, I wondered why I have not focused on more simple moments. I was trying last night to reflect on my family financial goals, my responsibilities, more responsibilities coming, everything, — but my happiness. How have I, with all my opportunities, become caught up to never have time to feel great about the moments of simple things that make me happy? I’ve been stretched in so many directions, I haven’t been feeling much of anything. Honestly, I’ve been too busy doing. My life is crazy busy. Today, though, I had a full day of hanging with my boys as LeighAnn is out of town and I am thankful for having the opportunity to have this day fully focused on my boys. As the weeks move forward, I have to bring 100 percent all the time. This next four weeks, I am in nine cities. The difference is, Im going to do it, live it, and absorb it—and whenever theres a thankful moment, I AM...going to note it. I know for sure that appreciating whatever shows up in our life, being thankful changes our personal vibration. We all generate more happiness for ourselves and others around us when we associate with when we are aware of all we have and not focusing on our have-nots. In closing, lets all focus on being thankful every day and we all will be amazed at the happiness and results for the day. Before you end this day, THINK of the simple things you are THANKFUL for! Respectfully,
