Be grateful for the little things

Be grateful for the little things.

The gift of life, family, friends, sound mind, imagination & dreams.

A few weeks ago, a friend helped list out some of the blessings I've experienced that I'd failed to acknowledge because I keep focusing on some things I've not yet experienced in my life.

Life will sometimes go contrary to our well-mapped out plans. In those moments, stopping to look back and take stock truly helps put it all in perspective. I know it does for me and I hope it will for you where ever you are in life.

Count your blessings, name them one by one

Count your blessings, see what God has done

Count your blessings

Name them one by one

And it will surprise you what the Lord has done

So what are you grateful for?

Reflections from “As a man thinketh” by James Allen

Photo by Thought Catalog on Unsplash "Victories attained by right thought can only be maintained b watchfulness. Many give way when success is assure, and rapidly fall back into failure. All achievements, whether in the business, intellectual, or spiritual world, are the result of definitely directed thought, are governed by the same law and are of the same method; the only difference lies in the object of attainment." Awareness - I must always be alert and watchful over my thoughts, there can be no slacking in this area. Made me think of all the scriptures that admonish to be alert, watchful and of a sober mind. Change / Take Action - I will continue to watch my thoughts so I don't loose ground or slip back into what i've conquered.
