I came across a great quote this morning:

You cannot make it as a wandering generality. You must become a meaningful specific. – Zig Ziglar

Love that! How specific are you about your goals and intentions? Have you taken the time to develop a clear, strong vision for what you want? You probably won’t create anything of worth in your life until you know what it is you’d like to create.

Even though the Thanksgiving holiday has passed here in the U.S., I still have this incredible sense of gratitude in my heart. I’ve been feeling this for some time actually, maybe the past month or so. Not only do I feel grateful for so many things in my life, I also have this odd sense of clarity and inner peace surrounding me. Why? I’m glad you asked.

When life places obstacles in our path, when things seem like they’re breaking down and we grow weary of the struggle, it’s a good time to step back and look for the gift. What gift, you say?

Every situation and experience in life holds a gift, lesson or blessing for us. Yes, even the really painful experiences, like the loss of a loved one, an automobile accident, or natural disaster. There is a gift there, if we look for it.
