Daily Inspiration - Make gratitude your new point of view

Make gratitude your new point of view. 

Grateful recognition of the sacrifices people around you have made will increase your own sense of personal power and wellness. When you show gratitude for gifts from others, whether they be material or emotional gifts, you are rewarded.  

People will endure many hardships if they know that their efforts are appreciated and recognized. Showing gratitude is a way of encouraging others to support you. And what if the gifts are sometimes well-meaning flops? You know all too well what it is like to be judged. You can rise above judgment and show your appreciation for what others have given--even if their gifts are not perfect.  

Action for the day: Show appreciation to one of your supporters today. Secretly do something nice for one of them. (And remember, you don't have to be perfect, either!)
