Who has the time to Exercise Gratitude?!

Who has the Time to exercise Gratitude?!

My question would be quite different...Who can afford to not exercise in Gratitude?!

Donyale, we have the shirt, a button, a mug, and yes we know Gratitude is the Attitude, what does it really matter?!  Everyone is always talking about being kind, or embracing moments blah, blah, and blah. ​

It Matters. . .From a Heart that Knows Firsthand it Matters. Exercising in this allowed me to "Rob" Regret in many areas.  I'm Grateful. I learned the lesson, and it has been priceless "That No One Promised Us that Tomorrow Will Look the Same as Today" What a difference that "statement" made in my life and continues throughout my journey, it determines my conversation, my response, my actions, making the most of this day, being a presence that brings peace and in return always receives it.  I'm Grateful to have Learned that Lesson. Again "No One Promised Tomorrow Will Look the Same as Today"​

I would even debate that Exercising Gratitude, is a vital part to not being trapped or set up for Regret. By Trapped or Set Up, I'm referencing to; In a Box (a stagnate place) confined with just thoughts of. . . If only I would have, or I should have, and or if I had a second chance it would be different.  Those thoughts alone can be very overwhelming, providing enough weight that you can literally go into a mode of "stagnation" **Note: If you fall in these categories already mentioned, then before we continue further down this road; 


Lets deal with the issue up front, the issue of those locked in Regret, who dance with the thoughts just mentioned;  Lets Confront It that You, I, We can't change what's happened, we can't rewrite any pages, and I mean "not one" page, not one paragraph, and not one sentence. What is done is done.  Take a Stand and continue forward understanding and confronting that, if you are someone who needs more than being served by this Buffet Table, served along this Helping Build Bridges Across Journey, and you recognize professional help is needed, to get through it, then do it, don't quiver on it, don't hesitate, don't wrestle another day with it, life is to short to be robbed of precious days, to be robbed of priceless, precious opportunities that a New Day Offers.  


The words shared here are meant to be an asset, a buffet table set up to take what can be an asset along your journey, and leave the rest behind.  



Whenever I'm sharing on this topic or in this area, it is important that you know there is help, 24 hours / 7 days a week; a Lifeline:  **If you are battling thoughts that you can't work through alone, or your are in a situation that requires resources or additional help : 
Please Call;   # 1-800-273-8255  **If not now, lock it in your phone and call if you need the Help. 



Please know, I don't presume one way is the only way, I don't assume my way is the way, my intent is to share the power of what has bought my life unmeasurable peace and the impact it can offer and have on your perspective. 


Gratitude is so much more than a word it's an action, an action that will allow "you", which allowed me and continues to serve my journey, and it will extend to anyone who is willing to exercise in it, it will allow YOU to Rob Regret. It will allow the opportunity to measure the cost of the words and the actions that YOU choose to use along the journey. 



We live in "this day", and in "this moment" exercising Gratitude because for some we Know that "No Promised Us Tomorrow will look the Same as Today". Most Humbled Hearts come through painful places, and it humbles you, it allows you to recognize that the journey is so much more than just about you, about me, about us.  It is a gift to be able to share an experience that allowed you to walk through challenging places, which for me includes God First, whose Grace walked with me and guided me and remains continuously with me along the way of each and every new Day.  I'm Grateful. 



With that last statement alone. . .
"A Humble Heart who knows Firsthand the Power of Exercising Gratitude"
It is what allows our Perspective, our Focus, it is what determines What We Say, What We Do and includes What we will not do, because we live Now, and We Do Not Allow Anything to Rob Us of That. 


​
Exercising Gratitude overrides "triggers" that in the past would have created more drama, or responses that created a bigger divide, but now Gratitude allows an opportunity to Pause, to Decide what really is worth extending my Energy.  


Exercising Gratitude allows a Peaceful Silence, without the need to provide choice words, or the need to have the last word.  A Powerful Exercise daily, that without notice becomes a reliable reflex. 

Who Has Time to Exercise Gratitude? To be Kind?

​My question would be quite different...Who can afford to not exercise in Gratitude?!
