Every day is a gift.
Are you ready for the new year? How has 2010 been to you? Good year, bad year, or just indifferent? What have you learned this year thru your lessons? Every day is a gift, which is why it's not called the past and it's not called the future, it's the present, living in the now. Are you living in the now? Are you kind, considerate and inspirational? Are you closed minded, negative and cold to others? Time to start comtemplating. Do you know who you are? What would happen if you were told that you only had months to live? How would you change and what would you do? Just a few things to ponder. If you do not like who you are or what you have become, well, it's time to turn over a new leaf - out with the old and in with the new. Time to reinvent yourself.
Here's a little excerpt from Barry Gottlieb: If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
Do you have true abundance? I believe true abundance is not measured by what you have; rather, it is measured by what you give. In our culture, it seems that most people are caught up in their "need for greed." Perhaps this is why so many people struggle to find their happiness, and why over 25% of the people in our country suffer from anxiety. We live in a culture where we are taught to judge a person based on what they have, rather than on who they are and what they contribute to society. Barry Gottlieb wrote a book titled, 'Everyday is a Gift.' It discusses his journey in life, one which you may very well connect to in certain ways, and how he transformed into who he is today. It's a real eye opener.
Five important steps/things to remember:
*Gratitude. Every night before you go to sleep, recite aloud at least ten things for which you are grateful.
*Forgive. Let go of the past. Forgive those who have hurt or angered you. Stop carrying this poison around with you every day.
*Love. Be sure to tell those people in your life who mean so much to you that you love them and appreciate them.
*Donate. Go through your closets. Anything you haven't worn or used in the past year, box it or bag it and take it to a place where those who are less fortunate will benefit from your donation. Get your children involved!
*Praise. Make time to praise. Look for and recognize the good in others.
