Gratitude IS all You'll Ever Need - By: Deborah Bishop

Today I opened my eyes and realized I was still tired from the night before. So, I rolled over and enjoyed another hour of rest. When I got up I let the dogs out and brewed myself some tea which I enjoyed outside as the heat had finally broken and there was a cool breeze left over from the evening rain. As I woke up I got my morning chores out of the way including a workout, watering the plants, writing in my journal and after a shower I strolled down my eight foot commute to my home office.

It was when I sat in my chair and started going through my emails that it hit me, I was in charge of my life. I showed up for me, and because I was willing to show up for myself I got to enjoy a freedom that none of my neighbors did. In fact, on the mornings I'm up early there is a scurry of activity as everyone around me hurries up to go sit and stare in rush hour traffic. I wave at them as they drive out of our cul de sac and silently give thanks for the courage I had to step out of the rat race and into my life.

I work for myself and I love every second of my life. Wow. I became so grateful in that moment of recognition that I almost started to cry. To think that I could sit here late in the morning and just be starting my day knowing I make more money then most doing things I'm inspired to do! And the best part, I help others to achieve this too. I realized a point of gratitude opening up in me that I had never known before. How lucky was I to live a life like this? Well maybe not luck, maybe a whole lot of courage and a big leap of faith, but I did it and everything it took for me to be right where I am today was so worth it that all I can say is "thank you" to everything and everyone who helped me to help myself.

I can do anything I set my mind to. I can earn seven figures this year if I truly desire it and that inspires even more gratitude in me because I know how blessed I am to have that opportunity. I didn't graduate University or crack some hidden code, I just had enough of things not working for me and did something about it. And every day since I continue to add to my gratitude list because of all the assistance, support, belief and accomplishments I have enjoyed. I am surrounded by others who challenge me to be the best I can be, every day, no excuses and I'm so thankful for that opportunity because it motivates me to go for it at a new level every moment.

What's my point? If you find that you are in a job you don't care for, or in a place that just doesn't feel like it fits, be grateful for this. Be grateful for that because it inspires you to action. All it takes is a different decision to become someone, life me, who gets to sleep late in the morning and be in charge of their life so allow yourself to be filled with thanks for every issue you might have because it will inspire you to make that decision and you will find yourself actively welcoming solutions that will open doors of opportunity for you and it all starts with being thankful.
