Daily Gratitude: You hear people (including me) talk about finding your “why” and that’s a key point in figuring out what goals/ideas should be pursued. The “why” I’m talking about here, though, is when you’re up against difficulties. But instead of “why is this happening to me”, you can ask “why is this happening right now” this means that there is something about this moment that is important but it may be completely different from anything that’s going on at the moment (this has happened to me many times). So your next question should be “what”. There are many forms to “what”. “What am I supposed to be learning (and inevitably it’s something you should have learned before but didn’t)?” “What do I need to do?” Follow this what quickly by “How do I take care of this.” The point to all these questions is to get you off the “poor me” natural tendency and on to the action coupled with gratitude that you’re being given another chance to learn this lesson. As always, practice this on something simple.
