Being Thankful

In these days of economic downturn, job loss, disappearances of investments & funds, foreclosures & loss of faith, the common question I hear is "Why is this happening?" Well allow me to say that it is a useless question. And if I stay there then all I will be doing is wasting my days trying to "figure out why!" What is gone is gone!

The only really valuable question is:

"What Can I learn from it?"

Because this question then leads me to ask "What do I choose to do now?" Now this question is really empowering and worthwhile asking!!

The "why" question simply perplexes, leaves me disempowered - that I might never get out of - and hardly ever leaves me satisfied. It never gives a good answer just more why's.

So don't try to "figure it out." Do as Bob Newhart says and just "Stop it!" Stop wasting energy & just focus on what you now wish to create. There is now a clean slate in front of you where you can create a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g!!

Keep moving forward!!
There is nothing behind you - it is all gone & done! Focusing on how it worked or did not work won't change a darn thing! The future is not guaranteed for any of us. Just focusing on what is possible right now is what best serves you. Being your highest thoughts & your highest self right now is all there really is.

So on this day of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for having you in my life; I am thankful for the life that God grants me; I am thankful for the freedoms we have; Thnakful for the ability to let go of the past & for the will to make life work - right now!- no matter what shows up!
