Happy Holidays, Soulful Friend,

A recent email I subscribed to pointed out how dangerous it is to "just be grateful" for what you have. (Mary Morrissey~my mentor's mentor).

I resonated when she said she would complain about the outdated cabinets and countertops to her parents and how they would remind her to be grateful she had a kitchen and not to compare theirs to others. 

(If you are close to me, you know I often do this, too. 

My dream kitchen has been on my vision board/document for some time. 

YOU will see me have this…one day!)

Bob Proctor said, "Always be grateful, and never be satisfied.”

Do you ever say to yourself, "It must be nice" or "One day I'll have that" when you see:

Someone you know buy a new outfit without looking at the price tag?

Someone you know always vacationing at beautiful destinations?

Someone you know seems to have everything drop in their lap?

Being grateful for everything: the trees, the flowers, our friends, our car, etc., is lovely, but if we only learn to be satisfied with "good enough," we can never grow. We were put on this earth to express life through us. 

So, let's lean into our discontent so we can grow and be fulfilled, not just be happy with what we have.

(To be read out loud with feeling; repeat as often as needed)

I am grateful for what I have
I have a gratitude journal
I appreciate even the little things
But I feel there is something more
I get excited when I think of having or being(fill in your desire)
It would feel so wonderful and freeing to have/be (your desire)
It seems like it's only a pipe dream or so far out of reach
It looks like it happens for everyone but not me
Yes, some little things I desire show up, but not the big ones
I feel like it might be too late, or I'm too old, or is it even possible
Ok, focusing on what IS NOT is not how this works
I've been working on my positive words and thoughts
I'm happy I no longer stay on the dark side of gratitude for too long
I'm happy I know that everything I desire actually desires me more
I'm happy I can turn my thoughts around right now
I'm happy I can choose to have faith & believe in my desires
I know that those desires were given to me by a Higher Source
I know if those desires were given to me, how would they appear
I know if I shift my focus to the feeling of already having it, I will soon see it
I like feeling as if it's already here
Yes, that feels good to know it's already mine
Yes, I am excited to know it's already mine
It's already mine
It's already designed 
It's ready for me to receive it
I AM ready to receive it
I AM ready to receive it
I AM ready to receive it
I AM powerful beyond measure!

Suppose you like the idea of designing YOUR dream life and are tired of "waiting for someday to arrive." In that case, I will be offering a 90 Minute Online Webinar where we will begin to put the pieces in place for your Ultimate Joyful CEO Life so you can not only have gratitude for…..but be grateful while you become an expanded version of yourself. 

Let me know if you'd like to be on the invite list. 

Joyfully,
