The Gratitude Mentor

Don't wait for a wake up call..

to see each day differently with awe..with wonder..with appreciation

to be aware and avoid wasting time on people's mistakes and judging them but rather to love, cherish,appreciate ,respect , help them

to stop , pause breathe, see , hear, smell...etc....taking in the miracles..to see how truly big the small things are

to exchange complaining for gratitude

to exchange resentment for forgiveness

to exchange anger for understanding

to with awareness let go of petty ego nonsense , never to be blinded by the results of a person's inner wars,to transcend and look past seeing the whole person in actuality and /or in potential , being open to their goodness and greatness no matter how ,camouflaged for you it may seem, because when you do, it comes from a place of goodness and greatness within you

In other words.. my usual motto- to see everything and everyone as an awesome gift...never a given

In the end it is also all for you ,that your life can go forward and the best version of yourself ( no matter who , where, or how you are)can shine your beautiful ,totally unique, Divinely forged light into the world

The Majestic In The Mundane(The Providence We Often Miss)

Much of G-d's Providence is lost to many of us because we do not look for it , we look for it selectively, our sight is blinded by complaints, issues, "why me","why them and not me", shoulds , musts,what has gone wrong etc
But maybe if we considered and took into to our hearts the Providence that surrounds us even in the smallest of things we would get to see them as the biggest of things and thus see a lot more

A small example:
I had let a huge pile of previously paid bills documents etc build up on my desk over the past months and as I walked passed the desk this morning a particular thought came into my head, clean the pile.

Well I had not done it for months but today I decided to do it and lo and behold I found a bill that I was more than a month overdue and if I had not found it, I would have some needless extremely bothersome trouble
Today of all days I got the thought and decided to clean the pile and actually pay detailed attention to what was on the pile

I had the free choice to go and do it but at the same time I realized it was not me at all but only G-d

Thank You Hashem

Many today have ADTD?(Addicted to distraction)
Thus missing out on 
all they could do and become 
living and feeling on a totally different meaningful grateful level reclaiming an enduring wow factor 
waking up to blessing and miracles
cherishing the little things which are indeed the biggest things

The Gratitude Mentor

Don't wait for a near death experience( G-d Forbid)

To smell the roses
To pause and take in a sunset
To go from criticizing to cherishing you loved ones
To open yourself up to appreciate ,enjoy the smallest of pleasures
To see the blessing and miracles all around us

Choose Life - Act F.O.R.R. life

Fluid
keep things moving don't let the siren's song of your comfort zone pull you back into regression..always look with gratitude to take it higher, better, further.

Open
Never lock yourself into what has to be, stay open always to what can be.Seeing challenges etc as on the way and not in the way

Reevaluate
When you reevaluate with brutal honesty you will always give yourself the opportunity to choose to know where you are, what you need to change,add ,where you need to invest more etc

Reframe
Reframe the negative, the complaining,that which drains you etc in to positive empowering , learning ,inspiring growth experiences . Find some light in the dark , some joy in the challenges ,the blessing in the curse..and in learning to reframe you will ensure that your life will positively and meaningfully never be the same

Before you go to bed tonight, remember everyone who helped you today.

Call up their image in your mind’s eye and thank them for their support or challenge, niceness or meanness or simply their presence in your life.

Continue until you feel great gratitude for your day, until you see that both sides are perfectly balanced and both are love.

Going to sleep with a grateful, open heart is a very powerful healing practice.

Your dreams will become more inspiring, and you will awaken in the morning with a lighter state of mind.

, here today gone tomorrow( G-d forbid)
But that could also mean that if we are blessed to be here today ,the day is packed with endless epic possibilities, miracles , blessings etc within our reach especially because they could be gone tomorrow or in a second( G-d forbid)
