Summary

I woke up this morning with an incredible zest to expand my feeling of gratefulness. Well, there is not so much to expand as to recognize all the things that I am grateful for but haven’t thought about lately. That’s the thing about living in a fast-paced world where our daily activities, big and small, fly by and are quickly forgotten. It’s always been that way. There is nothing new in the world. That got me thinking about one of my favorite quotes — “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” —Robert Brault As a no regrets kind of guy, I admit to sometimes not living in gratitude. Thankfully, the wisdom of others is always making sure I remember what is important— Here are a few of my favorites. “If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.”—Frank A. Clark “Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” —Eckhart Tolle “Who does not thank for little will not thank for much.” —Estonian Proverb “Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: It must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.”—William Faulkner “Enough is a feast.”—Buddhist Proverb “When you are grateful, fear disappears, and abundance appears.”—Anthony Robbins “When eating fruit, remember the one who planted the tree.”—Vietnamese Proverb “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”—William Arthur Ward “A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue but the parent of all the other virtues.”—Cicero “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.”—Robert Brault Learn more about your ad choices.

How are you, and if you're in the United States of America, happy Thanksgiving?

0:20.6

It fits that day, we all sit down and give thanks, and that's on my mind today, as we

0:25.4

get into the day show, the wisdom of gratitude, and some of my favorite quotes for you and

0:30.4

some obvious commentary between about feeling gratitude, and why it's so gosh darn important

0:36.6

in your life.

0:38.3

It is the daily boost from MotivationAmoved.com, life begins when you move, but then life

0:42.7

gets in the way and challenges arrive, that's just the way life is, we accept that, don't

0:47.6

have to accept it, we'll live that way, it just happens, we just kind of move around it,

0:51.7

we stand up, we take a step, we repeat, and we just keep going until we get what we want

0:55.2

even if we don't know exactly what that is, yeah, that happens, let me dwell on that

0:58.8

for a second.

1:01.6

Sometimes we're heading down the road, we don't know exactly what we want, huh?

1:05.0

Sometimes we don't, yeah, it's a little meandering, I call it exploring the possibilities,

1:09.5

but we just go down that road thinking, oh, I gotta go, I just feel I have to go and do

1:13.1

something different and we don't know exactly what that is, that's okay, get out there

1:16.2

and bang on some doors and have some experiences and figure stuff out, it's okay to do that,

1:19.6

you don't have to be completely focused all the time, you'll know when you're focused,

1:23.7

sometimes we're heading down that road, decided to do something we know exactly what we're

1:27.8

going to do, exactly how we should feel, exactly how life should go and it just doesn't feel

1:31.2

right.

1:32.2

Recently, I've had some decisions in that area myself, I said, just didn't feel right,

there's no join it, so I backed off from it.
