Giving Thanks on Tuesday ~ 06/08/10

Happy Tuesday everyone and if you read this on Tuesdays you know that I always write about the importance of spoken and written gratitude. Sharing with the universe and others what your truly grateful for.

Yesterday I shared with you the importance of what and how we think. The belief and eventual knowledge that thoughts become things. Truly the energy that the world is made up of knows only what we speak and think and what we think naturally flows towards us.

A scripture about gratitude from Matthew 6:21 ESV

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A quote:

If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be

thankful for what he's going to get.

~Frank A. Clark

and

What a miserable thing life is: you're living in clover,

only the clover isn't good enough.

~Bertolt Brecht, Jungle of Cities, 1924

How sad that must be to be healthy, alive and have a home. But to not be grateful.

We have so much to be grateful for and to have a place to lay your head, to have a hand that you can reach out and hold something of beauty and to not appreciate it and be grateful for is very sad indeed.

Today, think about all the great things that has been given to you, yeah some may say that you have earned it. That you worked hard for everything you have received. But I like to think that content flows with nature, you putting yourself in front of your accomplishments, effort and stride puts you there.

A quote by Dennis Waitley:

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.

So today, live every minute with an attitude of love.

Live every minute with gratitude and a sense of humbleness.

Live every minute with the thought that

today I am grateful to be alive.

That I can make a difference.

That I can share a smile or a kind word.

And as the Dalai Lama has been quoted:

If you can, help others; if you cannot do that,

at least do not harm them.

So what am I grateful for today?

LIfe you bet!

Health yeah that too!

Being Loved by my lady yeah thats awesome!

Janice I thank you always.

That you found time to read this post, as always thanks to you!

Your turn, what makes your day a grateful day?

If you want share it below and let the world know.

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.

Monday Morning Wisdom ~ 06/07/10

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to another great week. A week full of possibilities that you can and will accomplish and all you have to do is believe that you will and execute your plan. Belief and attitude are not only two things in accomplishment they may be in my heart the only thing.

Before I go further let me share two passages about thought:

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he

meditates day and night.

~Psalm 1: 2 (NIV)

and

Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.

Then you will be prosperous and successful

~Joshua 1:8 (NIV)

When we meditate we tend to listen to our inner spirit and our soul.

We meditate to get closer with our intentions and to think upon what we truly want for our spirit and our direction that we want to be led in. When we take the time to truly read and understand the words of the Bible and its teachings we learn more than just history we learn what can enlighten and strengthen our spirit and soul and protect us from evil.

Thoughts become things.

Often we hear, see and watch people that tend to destroy their lives with drugs or alcohol. The all to often go in to that direction to numb their feelings and escape for that moment and bring some type of euphoria and live for the moment with little thought or worry about future addiction or consequences. They take little time to listen to their inner spirit and soul. Their thoughts tend to diminish only for the moment.

Thoughts become things.

We can make a difference in our life and in the lives of others we only need to try.

We can shape a thought through a kind word and a smile. A compliment or some words of encouragement.

We can and we will if we only go into our day with the intention to do so.

We will if we say it is already in our daily script.

Thoughts become things.

Let your thoughts and words speak to someones spirit. Just a smile maybe. But that smile and word of encouragement can have a lasting effect.

Till next time....share a smile, make a dream come true and make someone's else a bit happier.
