If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again. - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance. — Eckhart Tolle How do you turn your life around? Begin by developing an attitude of gratitude! As soon as you start to feel differently about the things in your life that you already have, you begin to realize and open the door for even greater things to come. Learn to not take things for granted.  Life is too short to not count your blessings on a daily basis! Be thankful for all the things that are in your life.  When a negative thought enters your mind, immediately replace it with something you are grateful for (roof over your head, love in your life, food on the table, etc..).  Just as with learning anything new, it will require watchfulness and practice until a new behavior pattern is learned. Being mindful of changing your thoughts will eventually create an automatic response process with little effort, thus allowing more room for joy in your life. Learning ...

It is the person we will become. Learn to master change rather than allowing it to master you. How's your attitude today?
