Daily Gratitude: As usual it’s all about how you perceive things. Remember that William Shakespeare said “nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so”. Let’s say you’re moving along your life and everything is going fine. Next thing you know there’s a “road block” up ahead. At the least this will slow your progress down. At the worst it will totally stop you in your tracks. In the majority of ways it’s up to you and how you respond. Are you going to let it totally derail you? Or, are you going to stop and say “mmmm, let’s see what we have here. How can I use this to make me a better person or improve my life. Or, maybe even how to improve someone else’s life? How can you share lessons from this experience to help others navigate similar situations more easily? If you make this a constant question in your mind (whether things are good or bad), you can’t go wrong. We are all meant to be teachers and coaches. How many people can you influence with your handling of situations. And you don’t have to write a book or start a corporation to do that. People watch the actions and behavior of others whether you know it or not. Remember that too and let it guide your actions today…and every day.
