I recently took part in a 4 day intensive Ninja Installation course as part of my growth process for real estate. It was the most amazing and enlightening four day event that I’ve participated in in quite some time. To say that I learned a lot is an understatement. I left there feeling energized!

One thing we focused on every morning was gratitude. Now I know you have heard that word many times and some even practice it on occasion. I am guilty of practicing it on occasion. I pray every day, sometimes several times a day but I don’t always recite what I’m grateful for. There’s a difference. When thinking about what we’re grateful for and saying it out loud, it makes a difference. It can be something like being grateful for a phone call from a friend or family member, having a car to drive around in, etc. I have now adopted a gratitude ritual right after my morning prayer and it really gets my day off to a great start!

Showing gratitude for even the simplest things helps to put life in perspective.  It can also be very humbling as you’ll find there are things we take for granted that others don’t get to experience. Some examples of what I’m grateful for is having a roof over my head, food on the table, clothes to wear, my pup Denim, my Family and friends. I can go on. When I think about all of the things I am grateful for I become emotional at times because it shows me just how truly Blessed I am.

What are some of the things that you are grateful for?
