I know this week is going to be crazy busy and I am not sure that I will have any time to shoot any videos, so I am trying to get some information that I am getting from the Spirit out and up for anyone that is interested.

Today, I want to share three big ideas, that I believe will help to move your life in a more positive direction, if you will let it.  There are a few things that are constants for me, as well as a few that are becoming constants.  I wanted to share these with you, in the hopes that they might help you, as they are helping me to experience and enjoy more of this gift called life.

1.) GRATITUDE!  I am learning that it is vitally important to take time everyday to think about all that we have to be thankful for.  We tend to look at what we don’t have or focus on what is not working the way that we want it to and get distracted away from all the blessings that we have in our lives.  This is why it is so important to think about all that we have to be thankful for and express this by actually taking time to mark our gratitude in some way.  One of the ways that I do this is by logging into http:gratitudelog.com and recording at least 5 things that I am thankful for everyday!  Take some time to count your blessings – you will be glad you did!

2.) JOURNAL!  We think all kinds of thoughts, but when we actually take the time to write some of those thoughts down with pen on paper, they become more than thoughts.  Thoughts become powerful when we learn something from them and journaling helps us to turns thoughts into fuel that grows us into something better.  Get a journal and pen and make it a practice to spend a little time everyday writing and sharing about what the Spirit is teaching you as you walk through this life – you will be glad you did!

3.) SHARE!  Getting is fun, but giving is even more fun and whatever your Creator allows to flow into your life, you should allow to flow through your life.  It is this flow that brings a fulfillment that we cannot manufacture for ourselves.  Take time everyday to appreciate what you have been given in all the different areas of life by taking the time to be a giver yourself!  All the world is focused on taking, but the real joy comes when we learn to receive, so that we can share.  Give it a try – you will be glad you did!

These are just a few of the many things that the Spirit is using to teach me and grow me to an amazing place.  Life is still full of challenges, but I am loving it and looking forward to what I am growing to become.  May you continue to be blessed and may you enjoy those blessings as you journey forward!
