Gratitude Sunday

Great Sunday Morning,
Did you wake up and give thanks for another day? I sure hope so because life is amazing!! If you appreciate every moment of every day you will be a changed person. Yes, even those bad moments. Life Happens For US and Not To Us! I have been through hell in back in my life and I absolutely appreciate every one of those failures and disappointments. It's made me who I am today! If you don't have challenges in your life, you don't appreciate the good times. Those tough experiences and times also helped me to help others. I believe that by knowing and understanding what another person is going through, you can help them in ways that others can't. 

For example: Depression; Ten years ago at this very moment I was going through depression. It was one of my greatest, toughest battles in life. I fought like hell to come back from three years of numbness and at the same time go through a terrible divorce. Yes, life can throw you some curve balls. The beauty of it all is I survived and I live to help others. Part of the help comes from pure determination to get off anti-depressant drugs and sleeping pills. It wasn't until I started studying under Tony Robbins that I understood the why. Why, did I get depressed? What caused it? (Stinking Thinking!) When you get into your head and think negative thoughts over and over again, you have no choice but to get depressed. What you think is what you become! If you think positive thoughts and live in gratitude, you can never go to that dark place in life. I work on this every single day thanks to TR and I will never go back. 

I tell you all of this because I am grateful for those tough times. It has made me a better person. If you've had tough times, look at it the way I do and be grateful for those times. We grow from our failures and disappointments, if we don't become a victim. Remember, LIFE HAPPENS FOR US AND NOT TO US!!

Be grateful for today and every day! Live in certainty that life is Spectacular regardless of what comes your way, if you are Grateful. 

Enjoy the gratitude meditation below and have a Spectacular and Grateful Day!!
