My day to day activities are deliberate. I choose to move through life with a grateful mindset. That focus enables me to maintain a positive life.
When I step into my office each day, I remind myself that having a job is a luxury. Being thankful for employment gives me the motivation to work diligently.
Before I greet a friend or stranger, I express gratitude that I am able to see them and speak with them. My initial expressions set a positive tone for our conversation.
The simple blessings of life are apparent to me with each step that I take. I move deliberately and with gusto because I am blessed with the ability to walk. I avoid moping around even when I am feeling down. My steps are guided by gratitude.
Staying calm when I discipline my children is sometimes challenging. However, my kids are precious gifts who deserve proper guidance. I use that reminder to keep my mission clear when teaching them life lessons. When they know how much of a blessing they are, my job is done well.
