My Ten Thoughts of Gratitude
Filed Under Image Partners | 1 Comment
As 2010 is preparing to make its final bow and graciously leave the stage to new hopes and dreams, we ponder our achievements and struggles, our happy and not so happy moments and open the blank page of the New Year ahead. We are often hard on ourselves for not having, or partly having accomplished the desired goals, for having procrastinated in getting that project going, or simply for having ignored our instincts and missed out on some good opportunities. That attitude brings our spirit down and we end the year feeling disappointed.
No matter under what circumstances you are ending this year, I invite you to join me in being grateful for:
- Having accumulated new experiences – whether good or not so good, they are still experiences from which we can learn
- Having acquired a new perspective on life from all that we’ve heard, read and learned during this past year
- Having touched someone’s life with a smile, a word of appreciation or a simple recognition
- Having shared our knowledge with people who were interested in hearing what we had to say
- Being richer for new acquaintances and well established friendships
- Having received unexpected acts of kindness or gifts
- Living in a part of the world where we are still safe
- Having food on the table
- Having laughed with friends
- Simply being alive
Before we allow ourselves to get consumed by the negative thoughts that come with what we perceive as problems or pitfalls, let us remember that we have so much more for which to be thankful.
As we end this business year, I wish to thank all my clients, networking colleagues and friends for their business, support, encouragement and appreciation of my work. I am grateful for each and single one of you and wish you success, happiness and good health as we welcome a new year of new possibilities, accomplishments and great connections.
Happy Holidays!
