BE THANKFUL!

BE THANKFUL!

Every morning, even before coffee, before my feet hit the floor, I choose to Be Thankful!

You Can Too!

It is not always easy, but it is a Habit I have chosen and developed. I write about this in my book “Befuddled? Live the Life You Choose!”

“Each morning when I wake up, before I get out of bed, I tell myself three things.

First, that I am Thankful for my Beautiful wife, my family, my life, and the day to come.

Second, I tell myself I’ve got this! I know with God’s help I can conquer the day.

And third, I declare it is going to be an Awesome Day!

These are choices I make and communicate to myself every morning and it shapes my attitude and focus for the day ahead.

Give it a Try…

  1. Be Thankful
  2. You’ve Got This
  3. Today is Going To Be Awesome!”

This is an Example of what you can do to start your day with a Thankful Heart! Because when you appreciate all you have, your life looks so much brighter! New Opportunities seem plentiful when you are already Thankful for what you have!

Thankfulness brings Joy!

Brene Brown says, “There is no joy without gratitude.”

She goes on to say, “I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude.”

That’s it, you have to practice gratitude! Being Thankful does not always come naturally. Just like my morning exercise is a habit I had to choose and form over time.?

But you have to make the choice!

I love this quote, “It is not Happy People who are Thankful; It is Thankful People who are Happy!”

So the Secret to happiness is to Be Thankful! Know how Blessed you really are! God has created an abundant life all around you, so appreciate it! Live a life of abundance, not scarcity!?

It is true, you do get to “Live the Life You Choose!”

So go do it!

Russ Hedge Awesome post/Article My business partner Boruch DuBrow and I are actually in the middle of designing a free course called "Modeh - the art of gratitude" Modeh is the Jewish prayer that is recited the moment we open our eyes. It loosely translates to "I am grateful to you Master of the universe for returning my soul to me" The word "Modeh" in Hebrew means being grateful - it is the first word that comes out of our mouth. More to come soon - stay tuned ;)

Agree Russ Hedge. You have an amazing day as well.
