This year Thanksgiving Day and Hanukah happen together which had me thinking about gratitude and gifts. I was thinking how can I be a proactive action taker and make this a time for gratitude and gifts.\u00a0 I came up with the idea to wrap the gifts and insert thank you cards listing the reasons I am thankful for the people receiving the gifts. As that Thursday will be marked by moments dedicated to gratitude and the importance or recognizing and sharing the gifts we have been given.\u00a0 Think about starting the day with a note of gratitude\u00a0 and exchanging the notes as you watch The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, then at half-time of the football game exchange another gratitude note, then after dinner you light The Hanukah Candles and exchange the gifts. As I look back over the last year I realize that I have much to be grateful for like 2 brothers, 1 sister, and a sister in-law who really like me and lift me friends who continue to support me and encourage me, and a dad who has been there to help me work through some issues.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Since awakening\u00a0 to and embracing my spirituality I have learned that gratitude opens up many possibilities and when you express gratitude great things begin to happen. I have begun to thank everyone and wish them GOD Bless You and the results have been amazing. By expressing gratitude and giving gifts you open up a realm of possibilities to be able to receive.\u00a0 Thank you to Coach Shantel Smith who taught me the value of being grateful and encouraged me to keep a gratitude journal. Since keeping the journal I have found that the day I write what I am grateful for are some of the most productive days that I have.<\/p>\n
\u00a0In living in gratitude and shifting my thinking from I have to to I get to. I have found that the shift has made things much easier and I have become much happier.\u00a0 As Coach Shantel says in her teachings it is an everyday walk and each day there is a lot to be thankful for. Most successful people who continue to grow personally and professionally attribute their success to assuming an attitude of\u00a0gratitude.<\/p>\n
