Daily Gratitude: How great is this? I believe so many people feel like a failure because they can’t come up with something new and shiny. After all, that’s what always makes the sale….and makes you famous, right?

But that’s not necessary. Taking something already created and finding a different way to use it or just make it more efficient.

You don’t always have to think “outside the box” but just look at what’s in the box with a different perspective. You can do this with your job, your relationships, your house, anything.

How can you look at something differently? Is there some way you can put a different “spin” on your life, making yourself happier perhaps?

What is it you’re always seeking but not getting? What’s the problem? Why aren’t you “succeeding” (assuming you consider that a success)?

Now step outside yourself and your problem and turn it upside down and all around. How can you look at it differently? Can you choose to see it as beautiful instead of ugly?

Can you decide to be happy no matter what is all around you? Remember that happiness is a choice. Can you put on your “glasses” and see everything with those new eyes.

You have the ability and the power to do this. The question is “will you do it?”
