It’s important to not limit the blessings that are possible in the future while being aware of all the blessings we have right now in this moment. No matter how we see our lives, there will always be someone out there who would be grateful for our life today. Having the ability to read this newsletter is a blessing. Being able to share ideas with people we care for is a blessing. It all starts with gratitude. When we are grateful for what we have, we will end up having much more. A very important and powerful read Idris!
I couldn’t have said it better myself. It all does start with gratitude. It signals to the universe that we are enough and are open to more. Brilliant Brian!
When I was little my mom used to have me watch the sunset with her every night. We would reflect on one good thing that happened during the day that we were grateful for. I learned from a young age that little things like a sunset are actually the big things. I now do the same tradition with my own daughter and get to relive the wonder of a sunset through her eyes. Thank you so much for discussing the importance of gratitude Idris Elijah…It truly can lead to so much success in our lives!
That’s so wonderful you got to share those moments with your mother and learn a very valuable lesson in gratitude. It’s even more wonderful that you’ve turned it into a tradition you can now share with your daughter. Thank you for sharing and as always it’s my pleasure 😇
I started journaling after reading your newsletter on Emotional Intelligence. It has helped a great deal with my mental health! I write 3 things I’m grateful for every day in the journal and you are so right when you talk about the peaceful feeling that gratitude brings. I shift my focus from everything that is wrong in my life to what is good. Yesterday I wrote that I was grateful for my dog, my best friend and the fabulous view from my apartment. Writing that down instantly improved my mood. Thank you for the great content again Idris Elijah and may the entire community have an abundant weekend ahead!!
Jody you are amazing! I’m so glad you found journaling helpful and you’re right, gratitude for what you have shifts your focus away from what is going wrong to what is going right. Great insight 🙌🏾
I’m loving all the positive energy in the comments! I like what you said about 80 percent of life is how you choose to see it. We can focus on having what we want and at the same time being grateful for what we’ve already got. There is always something to be grateful for as long as we are alive. This was a great choice for a newsletter to end the week Idris Elijah. Well done!
