The Attitude of Gratitude

How good do you feel when someone thanks you or gives you a compliment? Do you thank those around you for what they do? Have you noticed someone looking nice? Tell them. You could be making their day. I always feel good after helping someone or complimenting them. So its good for me and them. We need to be thankful for what we do have instead of bemoaning what we don't have. I am not saying settle for what you have. Always strive to reach the next level on your path. I am saying don't get so wrapped up in what you want that you miss what you do have. Bless the things you have and the things you want. There is always more coming to us if we are ready and open to receive them. By blessing and being grateful for what we have it sends a clear message to the universe that we are ready for more. If we complain and focus on the lack the universe will send us more of the same. Be careful which one your thoughts draw. If you catch a thought of lack stop it and think of the blessings already in your life. After a while this will become a habit. Life will not always be rosy but if you are able to see past its challenges to the lessons and blessings it will take the sting out of the situation making it easier to handle.

Does anyone have any questions or anything to add to this?

Case study

I just signed a lease renting a booth in a local store. I filled it with the art I am testing for selling. I pay $25 a month for the space and 4% on all debit and credit payments. I receive all other profits derived from my booth. It will be two months before I get a good read on the local interest. I am still selling the art on eBay. I am planning on getting a portion of my income tax to use to order more of the art and the limited editions of the art. I will also be getting my web store back online around February or March. I have abandoned the Jewelry I was selling.The market is flooded at this time and its just not cost or time productive. Now that I have the art started I am taking time to work on writing my class's. I am working hard to raise my family up from our poverty and will continue to work on it. I am following my dreams and starting my business's. I can and will achieve a better life for my kids. I hope that watching me and how I will rise will inspire you to do the same for your family or self. Anyone with the will can do it If they only try. Don't put off your dream. Go after it now, today.
