I feel like it%u2019s a great time to be reminded of this, with the holiday seasons here. So think about how you just celebrated your Thanksgiving holiday? It%u2019s the holiday that we are to celebrate by giving thanks and gratitude for our abundance of this year. And if you feel like you did not have an abundant year, then give thanks for the small things in your life because they count as well. By appreciating what we have, the big things and the small; we bring more joy and contentment in our lives. It helps us to let go of envy or hard feelings and allows us to become our highest selves; which creates space for us to bring more of what we want in our lives. Just around the corner we will be celebrating the New Year; an exciting time to prepare resolutions and create new beginnings. This is another important time to practice gratitude; before you plan what you want to accomplish next year, you need to be grateful for what you have done this year. The more positive energy you create around your resolutions and goals, the more positivity you will receive in those goals. Deepak Chopra once wrote, %u201cGratitude opens the door to%u2026the power, the wisdom, the creativity of the universe. You open the door through gratitude.%u201d Wow, how powerful is that? Think about how much you could manifest in your life just by practicing gratitude on a daily routine. Think about how many doors you could open in your life by opening that door of gratitude.This past year I started to practice gratitude on a daily routine. First thing in the morning, during my run or before my meditation and prayer time I would say three gratitude and give them to God. It has been a perfect start to my day, to give God thanks before the day has begun. I give thanks for some things that have already happened in my life and sometimes for things that are still in the works or have yet to come. My practice of gratitude is a way of not only giving thanks to the universe, but also letting the universe know what I want more of in my life.
