be grateful

What is the secret to life? I have wondered this at various lulls of my life. If I could just focus on one simple thing, or one goal, what would lead to the abundant life?

Well, my friends, with Thanksgiving, I would like to share one of the greatest secrets of life: GRATITUDE!

Next time you feel absolutely lousy, or even if you are feeling just fine, begin counting your blessings. It is amazing to witness the physical, emotional, and literal change that happens in your mind, body and heart.

Just start small, think of 5 things, the sunshine, the snow, your toothbrush, the smile of a child, great deal on black Friday, a hug from a dear friend, whatever it be, take mental note and feel how it adds to the abundant life.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This blog has been inspired by my simple daily experiences that help me learn how to live the abundant life. In Africa, there is a phrase, Ubuntu, it means, "I am that you are." The principle is taught that we can live the law of abundance or scarcity. The Law of Abundance is fueled by love, there is never a shortage, I am that you are, there is no end to goodness. Or the contrast, the law of scarcity which is that of greed, vulgarity, and all that is fleeting, base, and degrading in this world.
I am a force for good. My goal is to share my small and simple daily experiences, leanings, or ideas of how to live the Abundant Life so that others out there might be able to do experience the same.
