Blessings

"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not,
but rejoices for those which he has."
- Epictetus

It is good practice to start your day with a recitation of all of your blessings and gifts on this earth!

One of the most vexing and frustrating aspects of life on this earth is that we do not know what we truly have until we don't have it any longer.

Sure it is possible to put ourselves in that spot mentally in order to feel the pain that comes from regret - but most of us do not really ever go there until it is too late - and we have no choice but to endure it!

Today is as good a time as any to start a new discipline: 

Every morning upon waking give thanks for the mere fact alone that we even woke up, that we can get out of bed, that we ALL are capable of acting and creating your own opportunities and re - inventing our existence!

What is important to you in this short time on this earth?

Are you doing what is important to you? 

If so - Terrific and keep doing it!

If not - why not and more importantly - WHAT STEPS DO WE NEED TO TAKE TO MAKE IT SO?

What is the FIRST step??

In addition to giving thanks for all we do have - and we ALL have way way more than we ever recognize or can imagine - Count your blessings, LITERALLY!

Our brains are inclined to constantly dwell on the negatives in our lives and the things we do not have - CHANGE THAT wiring and do the opposite every single morning!

Why not give it a shot today?

What do you have to lose?

Stay Strong!
