You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. ~Joe Lewis There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all the drama and the people who create it.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance. — Eckhart Tolle 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..).

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. Gratitude opens the doors to receiving.  Tell yourself that each new day is the best day of your life. Take nothing for granted.  Start today. Make today great!
