Gratitude

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey



As you probably already know, life has a way of making it easy to forget all the incredible things we already have when we’re putting so much focus on the things we don’t have…

Sometimes I catch myself falling into a zone where all I can think about are the things I want and have no way of obtaining anytime soon; it makes me feel hopeless.  However, there are times where I literally had to look at the clock and tell myself that at this very moment, I have EVERYTHING I could ever need…and usually I remind myself of how grateful I should be for my health, my family and the people who I am surrounded by daily.  I couldn’t imagine how life would be without my friends, my roommates and my co-workers…my job…

I just feel the more I count my blessings, the less there is to be upset about. With that being said, I have everything I could ever need and I truly am living a beautiful life. For that I am thankful.

All I can say is, I too, have been in his shoes before just as many others have and its not a great feeling knowing someone automatically knows they can’t see themselves with you – it doesn’t even have to do with you liking the person, but it has to do with you being rejected.   The let down is in hearing that you can never be that “specia...

A Moment of Great

For the longest time, I believed I had this type of "fault" where I always wanted to see how trustworthy some people are, but life has brought to my attention that it was never my fault it was my intuition .  Like all classic scenarios, I  failed to listen to my intuition... because for one reason or another I was hopeful that maybe - just maybe I would be wrong...wanting so badly for it to turn out the way I wanted. This is when I realized , " when your heart wants what is not available to you, your always looking in the wrong direction ."  When I want what is not for me - it won't work, and it certainty won't make me better. Knowing something positive isn't going to come from something/someone who is leaving you feeling suspicious should be intellectually obvious, but for some people (like me) it doesn't become obvious until it you feel it internally. I can't speak for everyone, but all I know is those who keep bringing out something ...
