How good you have it
Do you fully realize how good you have it? Or do you take all
the good and valuable things for granted, focusing only on
the troubles and disappointments?<P>
Sure, you have problems, and of course there are challenges
and difficulties. The best way to move forward through those
difficulties is by staying connected to the real, enduring
goodness in your life.<P>
Stop for a moment and think of five things in your life for
which you can be truly thankful. Then consider what you
could do to build and nurture those things, to make them
more influential in your thoughts and your actions.<P>
It's easy for the pressing problems of the moment to
overwhelm your thinking. So it's up to you to provide a
powerful, positive alternative.<P>
When you have something to be thankful for, you have
something real and valuable to go on. You have a solid
foundation from which to build.<P>
And no matter where you may be or what may have happened,
you do indeed have many things for which you can be truly
thankful. The more completely you stay connected to them,
the more surely life will move in the direction you
desire.<P>
