"The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings."
American Philosopher/Writer
1902 - 1983
We should give thanks daily for the gifts that we have been given. The world we live in can be a difficult, negative place and yet we must find a way to celebrate the positive, to believe in that which is good and precious. As creative leaders our gifts and talents are many. I am thankful that I can type, that I can read, that I can write, that I can create. Sometimes it is the small things that are most important.
Give thanks for what you have been given. Develop an attitude of gratitude. Every day write down ten things for which you are grateful. The choice is yours. Focus on what you have, not what you don't have. Don't like that picture you painted? Don't think you have much skill in drawing? Don't despair. Focus on your talent for color or your insight into human nature. Honor the gifts that you have. Appreciate your strengths. Celebrate life.
