Being Grateful For What I Have

Hi Everyone:
Have you ever been around someone that constantly complains. No matter what goes on they are never happy? I wonder if they ever stop to see what they have and be grateful for that. I have to tell you I was one of those people. I complained constantly. I felt like I had a dark cloud over my head always. I had to stop and take a long look at myself and the people around me. I have driven down the road and seen people literately living on the side of the road. In boxes under the viaduct. How sad is that I thought, the other thing I thought was by the grace of God that could have been me. As a matter of fact I almost was me more times than I care to admit. Sometimes we have to take stock of what we can be thankful for. Our families, our friends. even maybe our jobs. We may hate the job we have, but instead of complaining go out and see if there is something else you can do. If not have you thought about starting your own business. Find something you really love to do and believe a  way will be made. It is not impossible. I have done it. When we start to look at our options you will be surprised at what you can do. I think the main thing is believing you can do anything you put your mind to. Take stock of what you have been able to accomplish. It may surprise you. This fuels the inspiration that you can also do what you desire. The other thing you have to do is be thankful for what you have. If you don't like what you have you have the power to change it. YOU HAVE THE POWER. In NLP we believe you can do anything, the only thing stopping you is your mind. Change your thoughts, change your mind. I have given you tools to do just that in previous blogs. USE THEM!.
The other thing I have found works is keeping a journal of your daily accomplishments. This is important because when things start to get a little rough, this gives you the inspiration to keep going.
Now start making changes if changes need to be done. Just food for thought.
