Daily Gratitude

Daily Gratitude: Commitment. Today’s daily gratitude is a bit different because it’s about me making a commitment to you all. Today is the first day of “Talking with Terrie – 180 seconds to a better you”. which you can reach by calling the number in the graphic below. Each day I will provide snippets or “chunks” of info that, when applied over time, should help improve your life. It’s only 3 minutes (or less). But you also have an opportunity to ask questions or ask for different topics. The Daily Gratitudes will continue and the episodes, short as they are, will be uploaded into Spotify and Apple but in my opinion, the time it takes to open your podcast app and find the show is more than the time it takes to hit a contact number saved on your phone. I listen to my favorite, Dr. Rob Gilbert’s Success HotLine every morning while I make my breakfast. It’s a great way to start the day. The commitment to doing this is huge but I’m practicing what I preach and taking it one step at a time. Just like with Vol State, if i thought about even a month’s worth of info, I’d freak out. So, it’s just one message at a time. I hope you enjoy it.

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.
