Daily Gratitude: Leave it to Reba to put the essence of life into such a succinct sentence. The wishbone represents your goals (your definite major purpose as we talked about yesterday and other days). The backbone is your endurance and your perseverance no matter what adversity is presented to you. The funny bone makes your life happier no matter what happens. Maintaining a sense of humor is vital to reducing stress and therefore enabling you to keep going and going and going. Make some effort to strengthen each of these bones and you’ll achieve much more in life.

Daily Gratitude: I like this because it incorporates action into a well known saying. When one door closes, it may not be enough to just sit around and wait for something to happen that’s good. Often we have to take some action in order for that good to come to you (through the door you opened by turning the handle). Most everything we want in life not only requires a definite major purpose (a major dream or goal) but also the development of a plan followed by ACTION. Often people think that things will come to them just by wishing and visualizing. But that’s not true. The universe will bring you what’s best for you in alignment with that goal but you must take action. Life is made up of actions. Remember that when you’re sitting around waiting. Let Action be your middle name!

Daily Gratitude: Others have no clue what’s inside you or what you are capable of. Sometimes you’re not aware of all that either. But there’s so much to you that is unseen. So never let someone else’s opinion mean anything to you. They don’t know what’s going on inside your life and soul. Their opinions don’t matter. Even if it’s someone you respect and maybe even have asked, they still don’t know the whole story. Listen to them if you think they are smart or if you have asked BUT then make your own decisions based on all the facts. And you are the only one who has all the facts. You are worth more than anyone will ever tell. Remember that!
