Grateful

In life, I've learned that you have to be grateful for everything. From the good times to the bad, every experience in life teaches us a lesson. My sister is currently in the process of opening her own business which we are all helping to build. Its been a long time coming but we are pushing through it all. Each member of our family has help to contribute in one way or another, and for that we are grateful.

There are moments in our lives when we can take things for granted and not appreciate what we have. This not only goes for the material things but also people, jobs, and life situations. Being grateful is so simple yet some of us forget it. Life isn't easy as we all know, but a kind act or words to show how grateful and appreciative we are can change someones entire day.

I myself forget sometimes to be grateful for the things around me. Pitbull said it best "Everyday above ground is a good day." And that is something to remember always. No matter how hard life is at the moment, there is a lesson that needs to be learned, an experience to have, and something new to try. When life is great and everything is in its place there's a lesson too, don't take it for granted; when its at its lowest the lesson is no matter what, pick your self up because this is only temporary.

I receive daily emails from Rhonda Byrne & "The Secret". Each one is a reminder to look at life with a positive mind, open heart and lots of gratitude. It's hard but I strive to be as positive as I can be.

Here are a few quotes of inspiration I found that help me each day.
