Gratitude
We learn the magical lesson that making the most of what we have turns it into more.
—Codependent No More
Say thank you, until we mean it.
Thank God, life, and the universe for everyone and everything sent your way.
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, and confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. It can turn an existence into a real life, and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
Gratitude makes things right.
Gratitude turns negative energy into positive energy. There is no situation or circumstance so small or large that it is not susceptible to gratitude's power. We can start with whom we are and what we have today, apply gratitude, then let it work its magic.
Say thank you, until you mean it. if you say it long enough, you will believe it.
Today, I will shine the transforming light of gratitude on all the circumstances of my life.

Discover that you can
Go ahead and get started. Then go ahead and do what is necessary to get it done.
Instead of worrying about why you can't, get busy and discover that yes, you can. Instead of filling your mind with excuses, fill your time with effective effort.
Even though you're not sure how you'll get it all done, get started doing what you can right now. The more you do, the more you'll learn, and the better you'll become at moving forward.
Though it may seem to be an undesirable chore, just go ahead and get started. Make a little progress, and soon you'll find yourself enjoying how much you're getting done.
Wishing things were different won't do you any good. What will do some real good, and give you satisfaction in the process, is going ahead and doing what must be done.
So take a deep breath, put a smile on your face, and get started now. Keep going, and soon you'll have a new and satisfying achievement.
