A Lesson in Gratitude.. .

Do you have the foresight to see something as a positive when in the moment it may seem like it’s not?


If there was something I had to tell my younger self it would be to be this:

“Be patient through these times my guy. …take your time. Try to be fully present in this moment. Don’t weigh so much the good and bad experiences in your life. ..only because there seems to be more negative at this time….because of that outlook, you seem to be losing your ability to express gratitude. You can’t count your blessings if you look at them solely as something that is given to you only when you ‘win’… . or when you gain the upper hand. ..”


Everything has the potential to be a learning lesson in the larger context of your life. Walk with faith.


I don’t know whether it’s wisdom or experience that takes over at some point, but things come and go…things start and then they end… .there is a natural cycle to life. Viewing life as the journey that it is can prepare you for both the good and the bad. I believe that if you are to have a truly grateful attitude towards life then you might want to learn to express that for all of the things, not just what may seem to benefit you in the moment.


It has the potential to turn everything you have into having enough….it can turn confusion into clarity…. . chaos into order.


So... .no resolutions this year.. .just looking forward to 2024 and practicing gratitude.
