What are you thankful for?

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it makes it easy for us to be thankful for the friends and family we have in our lives. But when you really think about it there are so many other things to be thankful for than you might realize.

As a business owner, I am thankful that I was fortunate to have some extra money to create and legitimize my business, that is continuously growing. As a graduate, I am glad that I was able to graduate from college last year on the Dean's List with not a huge heap of debt. As a previously unemployed person, I am glad that I finally found a job that is not only great but in my field where I learn something new everyday. I am thankful that one late night in a moment of sadness I created this blog and was able to inspire and encourage a lot of people.

Most importantly, I am thankful for life. Having it and living it.

So as you're sitting down with your family eating that wonderful holiday meal, take some time to reflect on what you are thankful for and what you want to be thankful for in the future. Start thinking about your New Years Resolution and what you want to accomplish so that this time next year, you'll have something new to be happy and thankful for. So I ask you...

What are you thankful for?
I'd love to hear it by the way!!!!!

Motivational Monday: Being thankful

With so many negative things going on in our individual lives, it can be so easy to lose track of the positives we have going on. Often times we want to gripe and complain about how our boss is a jerk or how teachers live to give their students tons of homework or even how boring it is to just sit at home with nothing to do. We have to learn to be thankful for the opportunities that are coming our way and that we overlook often.

Sure our boss is a bit of a jerk, but let's face it you have a job that enables you to pay bills and even splurge on that pedicure every two weeks. Yeah, your teacher gives you a lot of homework but honestly there are some people who wanted to go to school and couldn't for one reason or another; you were one of the lucky ones. And yes, it can be boring to sit in the house and do nothing, but remember those hobbies you used to have that you neglected because you didn't have time? Well now you have time so use it and maybe that hobby can be your meal ticket.

As we start to gear up for the "holiday of thanks," take some time to think about some things that you've been complaining and upset about and find the silver lining in it. Turn that complaint into a moment of thanks and be thankful.

Today's Motivational Monday quotes, like all of this week's posts, is about being thankful and giving thanks. I hope it helps in making any of your dark clouds a little brighter.

We give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way.
