Goal for the Day: Be Thankful

We all have a great deal for which to be thankful. Even at the worst of times, we can still find things in our lives which symbolize good fortune. No matter what struggles we’re enduring, we must always look to the positive things that surround us. Perhaps you’re blessed with strong family and friends. Maybe you have a beloved pet. Sometimes, it’s enough to be thankful for the clothes on our backs and the food on our plates.


Regardless of any circumstances, you can always be thankful for yourself. You are a remarkable creature with talents and thoughts. We should never discount our abilities to think, to feel, to learn, and to observe. Those qualities alone are worth being thankful for.

So, what does being thankful get for you? Peace of mind, to begin with. When we mourn and want, all we’re doing is tearing ourselves apart. By learning to enjoy the scraps, any future feast will taste that much better.
