“No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.”

We have a lot of reasons to be sad this year,

We have a lot of reasons to be frustrated this year,

We may even decide not to count this year in our life journey,

But I choose to find the good and praise it.

Who knew that it would take a pandemic….

For us to empty our bucket lists,

For us to outdo our physical and fitness goals,

For us to realize how little we need,

For us to attend international summits and conferences….

From the comfort of our couches.

Who knew that it would take slowing down the world….

For us to reconnect with ourselves,

For us to connect with awesome people,

For us to reflect, readjust and refocus,

For us to outrageously grow emotionally,

For us to be noticed by the busy world And

For us to experience a deep sense of joy and happiness.

Who knew that a pandemic that slowed down the world is all we needed;

For us to build character and foundation for our next level.

Who knew that this season would be dedicated to our next best self.

For these reasons; I am grateful for another year,

A tremendous addition to my greatness journey,

A blessing in disguise.

…… And I am grateful that I am a confirmed rare species;

An INFJ;

I treat people as if they were what they ought to be and help them become what they are capable of being.

Nothing lights up my world like creating a solution that changes people’s lives.

What are you grateful for? remember that struggle ends where gratitude begins.

“There is calmness to a life lived in gratitude, a quiet joy.” Ralph H. Blim
