Daily Gratitude: Who is that one person that has influenced your life the most? There may be several that have been important but I ask you to work through all of them and find that one special person. And no, it may not be your parents or a spouse. It may be but there might actually be someone more significant. For me it was Rev (Dr) Anne Kunath. My life was a mess before I met her “by accident”. Once I began to listen to her and her teachings I knew there was something special there. I won’t bore you but will tell you that all the others in my life can’t even hold a candle anywhere near her as far as influencing me is concerned. As she is gone now, she is a big part of my life”imaginary” mastermind group and I know that all I have to do is ask “what would Anne tell me” or “what would Anne do”. If you can find a similar person in your life, communicate with them. If they are still alive, make it a frequent communication and one expressing how much they mean to you. Let them know. If they have passed on, you can write them a letter and express the same things. But you can also continue to communicate with them even if you don’t want to tell your friends or family that you are doing that. They will keep giving you pointers to help your with your life if you just open up and let them. After you find this person, then seek the other ones that have impacted you and develop your own mastermind. You’ll be glad you did.

Daily Gratitude: This is just another way to say that in every adversity there is a seed of an equivalent benefit. You just have to search for it. If you keep your focus on what’s bad, then you’ll get more negativity in your life. If you accept whatever happened (it’s history and you can’t change it anyway but you can learn from it) and look for the hidden good (make it a game so it becomes fun), you’ll be raising your vibrations and as such will attract more good into your life. Try it with little things first so you get some practice. Then move on to trying to find some good in everything that occurs in your day. I think that soon it will become something fun and that you look forward to.

Daily Gratitude: Today’s message doesn’t need much explanation. Think about people you know who are successful and think about whether or not they are boisterous or quiet. Most of the role models I have are the quiet type that do something, then analyze the results and finally make decisions about what needs to be changed, if anything does, and then they make the changes. Rinse and repeat. They don’t make a big deal out of anything. They just know what they need to do and go about doing it. Think about yourself and your actions especially when things aren’t the best. How have you handled them? What might you want to change?
