I challenge you!

I challenge you to go through the day with a grateful heart. To focus your attention on the things you love in your life. I challenge you to remove your lens of complaint and put on the lens of appreciation and acknowledgement. To enjoy the fruit of your life.

Take a look around. You’ll see the roof over your head, the faces of loved ones, pets that adore you, co-workers that will miss you. You have income from your chosen vocation (even if you want to change it). If you don’t have work, you have the time to discover what is next on your path. You have a body, a work of art, that is waiting to be awakened with movement.

Best of all, you have the ability to choose, to think, to love, to be joyous, to be expressive, to honor the Divinity within you.

For all of this, give thanks today. It will rock your world!
