Daily Gratitude: Everyone talks about going the extra mile and I believe if you want to succeed, you do need to do that. But the mile never really ends. A lot of people go the extra mile but look at people who are at the top of their field and you’ll see they didn’t stop there. They kept going even further. It’s those people who will find the pot of gold. But it’s not easy. You have to want something in every molecule of your soul. It’s not for everyone. Take a look at Olympians. They have definitely gone far beyond the extra mile and their pot of gold is not necessarily a medal but the experience. You have to determine for yourself which mile marker you’re willing to aim for. It may be that you’re fine where you are but it also may be that you want more. If you do, what are you willing to do?

Daily Gratitude: I had never listened to the words of “Don’t worry, Be happy” until recently. I can’t think of anything better to write here other than some excerpts from it. We should sing this song many times a day:

“Don’t worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy
Don’t worry, be happy now

Ain’t got no cash, ain’t got no style
Ain’t got no gal to make you smile
But don’t worry, be happy
‘Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don’t worry, be happy
Don’t worry, be happy now

Don’t worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy, be happy now.”

Daily Gratitude: What’s your definition of a “miracle”? It’s important that you know it for yourself. Each person has their own experience and some things are considered miraculous to them that are “just” commonplace to others. I have grown to believe that there are many miracles happening in my life each and every day. As I recognize them, I give thanks for them. The vibration created with expression (and feeling) of gratitude generates power that continues to energize you and those around you. What would happen if you took just one day and recorded everything that happened no matter how mundane and looked at each of these things and see if you can see the miracles contained within. Look beyond the surface and see what it took to get that “thing” into your life. It wouldn’t take much to look back to the pandemic and see all the supply chain problems we had. Then it was a miracle for us to get some of our essentials when they had to come from other countries. Even certain medications became rare during that time. How often do you take your daily medicines or supplements for granted? The entire process of getting something to you from its raw material is a miracle if you think about it. Be grateful for these things and think about what it would be like if you couldn’t get them. Try it for a day.
