Happy Thanksgiving
Just wanted to post a quick little happy thanksgiving to everyone. I know this is a holiday that’s just usually celebrated here in the United States but I wanted to extend it out to everyone in the world. This day isn’t just about eating a ton of food and taking food coma naps. What this deal really is about is to be grateful for what we have in life. To be grateful for the events, both good and bad that have happened to our lives. To be grateful for the people we have met from this point of our lives. This is a day to reflect on how much we really ALREADY have in life and how much we should be thankful for.
I think too many times people like to focus on the things that they don’t yet have wishing they can have this or have that. But instead we should focus on the abundance that there already is in our lives.
If you’re reading this blog post I can already name a handful of things you can be grateful for right away. First thing you can be grateful for is having a device where you can actually read this post, be it a computer, smartphone or tablet. You can be thankful for the internet connection that allowed you to connect. You can be thankful for being able to read this post. You can be thankful for millions of things up to this point in your life.
I personally am grateful for my family who has supported me in my millions of ideas up to this point in my life. The things that I did where they questioned what I was doing but they still supported me regardless, they didn’t judge.
I am grateful for my friends both who are in business with me and not in business with me.
My mentors. All these years of learning from you guys and now this year I’m starting to see the fruits of those labors. Everything that I’ve learned has been for this point of my life.
To the people who I have yet to meet who I know I will touch them in some way and change their life for the good. This is why I do what I do. Knowing that a single blog post/video or story can change someone’s life makes all the hard work worth it.
FOcusing on the NOW this very moment you can be thankful for a lot. So I encourage you after this holiday where we all give our thanks. Start a journal or a log of what you’re grateful for on a daily basis. Watch the difference in how you’ll start feeling. I started doing this last year and its brought more abundance to my life. It’s like the more grateful and giving you are the more things come to you.
