Many people will look at the image above and brush it off. Many will read each line, maybe twice. Many will skip the image until the blog brings attention to it (like right now) and will go back and read it. And then, there are some (note I did not say many) who will take a mental note of each one and decide for themselves which ones they do, which ones they do not, and which ones they must work harder at.
I fall into the last category. When I Google search for images on gratitude, gratefulness, thankfulness, being thankful, etc....these types always pop up on my screen. Many of them say the same things but this one, this one seems to have EVERYTHING on it for living a more thankful, positive, happy life. And it all seems so simple. Go back and reread each of the phrases on the image. How many do you see? Go on, count them! How many do you count? I counted 14.
Today's blog posting is a simple one. I am asking you to try your best to BE the person in the image. BE the person who:
- is THANKFUL
- does their BEST
- always tells the TRUTH
- HELPS others
- LAUGHS out loud
- uses PLEASE and THANK YOU
- WORKS hard
- tries NEW THINGS
- LOVES others
- says their PRAYERS (and not just when you need something from the Big Guy)
- KEEPS promises
- LISTENS
- SPEAKS kindly
- SMILES
I have decided that I am going to be MORE like this. Starting today.
Today I am thankful for new challenges and happy people.
