Motivational Mondays - Giving Thanks
Today is turkey day in Canada. Yep, Thanksgiving. It’s amazing how so many Americans did not know our Thanksgiving is not the same day. More than a month difference. If this is news to you, then you just learned something 
. In this edition of Motivational Mondays, I want to focus on the positive things and people in each of your lives.
Think about this. No matter what your situation is at any given point, there is always someone else in a situation worse off than you.
What that means is, do not take for granted the good that is in your life at the present moment. It can be as simple as being thankful for the ability to breathe every day. Good health, financial security, family, friends, a good education, clean water. The list can go on. When you are thankful for what you already have, it can give you motivation to continue living life. It is all about your mentality. If you change your mindset into a more positive one, you open yourself for more good to come in.
Here is something I would like you to try. Every day for the next month. Write down 2 things you are grateful for. Keep this piece of paper and make a list. After a month, you will see how many blessings you have been fortunate to receive.
A few quotes I want to share with you.
Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action. - W.J. Cameron
If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one. - Mother Teresa
Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just living! - Amanda Bradley
