Daily Gratitude: There’s always needs around us. Most of us have what we need in life. Part of our responsibility as human beings is to look around us and give whatever help we can to others. Maybe it’s by donating to a cause; maybe it’s smiling at someone; maybe it’s talking with a person who’s hurting or depressed; it could be anything. You may know the person or maybe you don’t. On the other side of the coin, is something that is often harder than giving – accepting help or gifts. Always remember that when you accept what someone else offers you, you are giving them joy. If you don’t accept it, then it’s a form of insult to them – sort of like saying you’re better than they are and you don’t need anything from anyone else. You don’t want to do that but usually people don’t realize that’s the message they are giving. Most people don’t want to hurt others, but have difficulty accepting from others. Make an effort to keep track of your checks and balances in this regard. Thank others, accept what they have to give you, and know that you’ve made them feel good too.

Daily Gratitude: What a great time for this to appear. So often we say “i can’t wait for 2024 (or whatever year it is) to be over.” Why not take some time to look back all over the entire year and itemize everything. I think you’ll find a lot of good things even though the bad ones might overshadow them. What did you learn from each event of the previous year (and those before that one)? They are the building blocks for your further growth. No matter what’s been going on, each event has its place in your future. They are your LEGO blocks. They have arranged themselves in the proper place to provide you with a sound foundation. You can continue to build on that foundation in the coming year. That’s what i hope to help you with when i begin my daily calls on Monday the 13th of January (2025). Tiny concepts – 180 seconds – each day to help you grasp and use in the continued construction of your house (your life). Your past is your foundation. Let’s build on it together.

Daily Gratitude: Love is, indeed, an energy. In that regard it’s similar to gratitude. By that I mean that experiencing and expressing gratitude mobilizes more energy in your life than you can imagine. Gratitude is as powerful as love. Feeling one or both of these will increase your vibration and when that happens, you will bring more love and more things to be grateful for into your life. Take some time to remember how you feel when you’re in love with something (and it doesn’t have to be a romantic type of love). Didn’t you think you were pretty much invincible? Or, perhaps, you didn’t need as much sleep as usual. What’s behind all that? Energy! Did you know you can imprint these memories along with the feelings on your brain? When you do that, you can call upon those emotions and immediately improve how you feel. We all need to experience love. If you know someone who doesn’t appear to have much love in their life, see what you can do to share some of your love with them.
