On Thanksgiving do you continue the habit of giving thanks every day, or do you quit complaining for a day and then return to your old self on Friday?
We can give thanks or we can complain. Complaining is the opposite of giving thanks. Reflect on what you do more of…complaining or giving thanks. Are you grateful or critical?
Tomorrow is a national holiday of giving thanks. Think about what you are thankful for. Maybe even put it down on paper.
There is always something that could be better or we could always have more, but what are you thankful for that you already have?
After you make a nice long list of all of the things and people you are thankful for, then think of one thing you do not like or that you are not thankful for.
If there is something that you don’t like; don’t complain, do something about it! Take responsibility instead of blaming someone or a circumstance. It is what it is and you can’t change the past, but you can change your future.
Don’t dwell on the past, the circumstance or the place you are at today. You have a choice to be there again tomorrow, or to be in a different place. Be grateful for what you learned or gained from the experience, even if it was only learning patience or perseverance. If you allow yourself to grow, then you won in the end. It will help you to do better and be better tomorrow.
You can complain or you can do something about it. Be productive and purposeful. Be grateful and give thanks often!
Give thanks today and always!
