“When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” ~G. K. Chesterton
Do you take things for granted or with gratitude? I hate to say it, but most people take things we have here in America for granted. And then we are only grateful on holidays, for a short time and then we go back to taking things for granted.
Do you realize how lucky we have it here in America? 50% of the world's population doesn't have running water or indoor plumbing. If you live in America, no matter what your economic situation, you are part of the top 3% of wealthy people in the world.
William Faulkner said“Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.” If you don't show your gratitude, it's like having a present and never taking the wrapping paper off.
Action:
Start taking things with gratitude and not for granted. Start to realize that we who were born here or have come here are the luckiest people on earth. Start showing your gratitude, produce it and discharge it!

Take Things For Granted Or With Gratitude?
“When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.” ~G. K. Chesterton
Do you take things for granted or with gratitude? I hate to say it, but most people take things we have here in America for granted. And then we are only grateful on holidays, for a short time and then we go back to taking things for granted. Here's an example, we just celebrated Thanksgiving here in The United States. Today is "Black Friday" when we stuff ourselves full with buying things that we really don't need. But, you say, "we've always done that." So what? Are you expressing gratitude for your job when you are spending the money you make at it? I highly doubt it, more along the lines of taking it for granted!

Most people just take that for granted, because they had the fortune of being born here. Now a certain type of individual believes that they are "entitled" to have these things. Get real folks!

You Are Better Than You Think
"Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never sell yourself short." ~ David J. Schwartz
Too often we beat ourselves down or let other beat us down. STOP IT!! You need to be reminding yourself that you are better than you think you are. The next time you feel unworthy, think of all the things that you have to be grateful for...and that will change your thinking.
Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves. Have you developed that belief in yourself? Why not? It's your choice to believe what you want to believe.
Action:
Don't let you mind talk you down. When that voice tells you that you aren't worthy, tell it to be quiet. You are worthy, but you have to claim it. No one else can claim it for you!

How Do You Define Yourself?
"To a very large extent men and women are a product of how they define themselves. We come to have beliefs about the nature of being human. These beliefs penetrate to a very deep level of our psychosomatic systems, our minds and brains. We act, speak, and think according to these deeply held beliefs and belief systems." ~ Jeremy W. Hayward
How do you define yourself? A winner? A loser? A break-evener? Lucky? Unlucky? What other words do you use? Well, what ever words you use, you are a product of those words and how you define yourself. Think about the words that you use...are they uplifting or do they bring you down? Do they say what is right about what's going on or do they find the negative?
When was the last time you thought about the words that you say to and about yourself? Make sure that they aren't bringing you down. It's your choice to decide how to talk to yourself. Choose wisely.
Action:
Stop yourself when you start down the negative Nancy path. Choose to think only positive things about yourself and what you do. It is YOUR choice.
